    Being a regulair visitor to the Overloon War museum since 1975, I thought it would be nice to show their Panther appearance over the years.

    The position and possible route taken by Panther 222 according to Jack Didden, fragment from his book "Kampfgruppe Walther and Panzerbrigade 107"

    That's right, Pieter. Here's the view looking from where the windmill was in A Coy's position on the road towards where Martin knocked out 222 around the houses on the right.

    The museum still won't change the board though...

    Completed in August.
    Knackered by October.

    Engine & box sold to the Weald Foundation. Mentions for their Jagdpanther, possibly the second one they're working on, but not sure.
