Panzer Leader Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 Does that mean it is a command tank with a fake gun? I can't frigure it out, and also I have seen a Panzerbeobwagen which is something else. Anyone help me here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The command Panthers, Tigers and KTs didn't have dummy guns but I think the IIIs and IVs did. The FO version of the Panther had a working gun as well.

Basically it was a normal Panther turret with the gun aperture plated over and a fake, wooden gun (quite short and thick) attached and an MG in a ball mount placed beside it, on the mantlet. Not many were made and no one is sure if they saw action. The only picture available is a poor quality one, which is usually repeated in most books.
