LOL. That reminds me of the programming dept I used to work in. We were the jeans-and-fun group in a company of overdressed, snooty, prissy-faced kiss-ups.

We were sitting around the table having a department meeting and someone brought in a bunch of propeller hats. We, of course, wore them.

The president prissypants walked into that meeting unannounced. He was not amused. I really miss being a rebel, sometimes.

I'm guessing the round hatch at the back side of the turret is to load ammo.

ABOVE & BELOW: Two views of a vehicle "224," a Panzerkampfwagen V Ausf. A Panther of the Panzer-Division "Feldherrnhalle". Both views allow a clear view of the production features that distinguish this version from other models, such as the new ball-mount for the hull machine gun that replaced the older "envelope-slot" style mount, and the retention of the driver's vision slit that was deleted in favor of a periscope in later production models (although the visor shield itself is actually missing from this example). As with many of the vehicles on display in the Afrika Gruppe, this Panther is painted in the standard desert sand yellow and has a number of kill rings painted on the barrel of the powerful 7.5 cm Kw.K. 42 L/70 main gun.

On the above linked page, click on the photo (shown below as a jpg) and find yourself in the midst of a Panther-a-thon of photos. Navigate with the red double arrows below the pictures.

Evening Phil Dragoo.

Thanks for all the links. The one with the "hidden" gallery was excellent. Lots of pics I never saw before, especially the pictures of the Panther in producion and the first photo of the Flakpanzer V "Coelian" prototype I've ever seen. I've only seen drawings and models before.

The did sneak in a picture of a KingTiger into the series.
