Two Shermans and a Pershing versus a Panther and some Panzer IVs fighting near Colgne (Koln) cathedral. Warning, there is graphic footage with a Sherman crew baling-out of their vehicle after it is hit. YouTube link The Pershing was experimental and probably the only operational Pershing in Europe in WW2. Barry |

The Pershing was experimental and probably the only operational Pershing in Europe in WW2. About 20 Pershings saw action in Europe during late WW2 , only 1 Super Pershing may have seen action in Europe . |

I have seen the clip, but that web site is fantastic, thanks for linking it. Two points of interest – the German TC may have hesitated to fire on the Pershing because he did not immediately recognize it as a US tank! Secondly this really points out how the outcome can be determined by the first shot, especially at 100-200 meters! |

This was my take of the knocked out Panther.

That's incredible how they pieced that all together blending the modern tech with the old films and photos! |
