Reader Reviews:
Panther is mostly remembered for her looks (0/0 people found this helpful)
In its 79 pages, this fine & richly illustrated American book makes a thorough comparison between the German 'Panther' and its Russian counterpart 'T 34'. In their technical facilities, as well as in their developments, employments and mutual history.
Being only partially better than T 34, Panther's main flaw was its mechanical weakness. No doubt Josef Stalin was greatly helped by the many Panthers that got out of action without ever engaging his much more reliable T 34's. Obviously Panther's designers valued their own vanity more.
That brings us to the only overall-superiority Panther enjoys over T 34: the beauty of its looks. Panther surely makes a magnificent example of 1940's industrial design. Unfortunately that isn't decisive for winning a war.
Rather on the Panther heavy side (3/7 people found this helpful)
75% of book on the Panther.
Good developmental history of the T-34 but thats where it ends, nothing more seems to be known about the Russian side.
Short mention of women serving in T-34s only special in this book.
Battle descriptions tedious to read and boring. One example of a Panther ambush against T-34s with map.
You dont really need this overpriced book on your shelf.
Concept would be good if they delivered something for the price!
