Destroyed Panther

The destroyed German PzKpfw V of modification D2 medium tank (Panther tank), irretrievably lost during the Citadel operation (Kursk Bulge, Battle of Kursk). This photo is interesting because there is a signature on it – “Ilyin” and date “26/7”. Probably, Ilyin is the surname of the commander of the anti-tank gun that hit the tank.

 

 

Location: Kursk
