Favourite German Tank?

What and why?

 

I would have to say the PzIII. A good tank up to 43 and then used in a variety of roles to the end of the most, most notably the Stug III.

Yer... Always had a soft spot for the Panzer III. Looks kinda cute too... And StuGs are just perfect!

But I gotta go with the Tiger I. No real choice for me... You know what Im like!

 

I like the Panther, became one of the best if not the best tank of the war.

 

Tiger tank!

 

I voted for the Panther. It's what I would draw (if I could draw) if someone said draw a tank. It had it's shortcomings, but towards the end of the war was coming together.

 

I'd vote for any German tank seen through the sights of a 17 Pdr.

The Tiger, Wittmann.

Touche Richard Payne.

 

Tiger Tank.

It was revered, as in open combat it was the best there was in it's time.

 

The Tiger, Wittmann.


Pah... Not Wittmann... Gimme Kurt Knispel or Otto Carius over that jumped up little Nazi any day...

 

There's that Pah again. So I will say Pah to you, he who looks like my German cousins and Gimme Kurt Meyer and Joachim Peiper with a little Hans Von Luck for good measure.

 

Yup... With you on the Von Luck!

And Peiper and Meyer too!

What about a touch of Barkmann?

 

I went with the Workhorse of the Panzerwaffe, the Mark IV. Great Tank and very versatile too. In many occasions it managed to punch above its weight. Definitely Barkmann, Victor!!!

Von lucks book weas decried for its factual inaccuracies!

 

No memoir can be trusted, regardless of claims otherwise. They can be used as information on everyday life as a soldier, but not as a source for historical events.

By whom?

 

Von lucks book weas decried for its factual inaccuracies!
If it was written by the bloke himself how could it be inaccurate. He had no axe to grind. In fact he comes across as a decent bloke. That's not to say because of that it couldn't be inaccurate. But what purpose would it have served, unless the time he spent in a Russian gulag/pow camp could be reasoned to as the root of said inaccuracies ie the treatment in the camp(s) affected his recollection.
