The Sd.Kfz. 171 Panther tank (Panzerkampfwagen V Panther) was a German medium tank used extensively by the Wehrmacht from 1943 until the end of World War II in May 1945. The Panther became famous, among other engagements, during battles on the Eastern Front – especially at Kursk – and later in Normandy, the Ardennes, and Budapest. It was equipped with additional side shields (Schürzen) designed to protect the tank against shaped charges and infantry anti-tank weapons.
