A Tamiya PanzerKampfwagen V sd.Kfz171 AusA 1.35. Trying for the brutal retaliation by 5th SS Panzer Division during the Powstanie Warszawskie (Aug44). The camoflauge is inspired by a Panther I saw at the Tank Museum earlier this year. #Tanks #ScaleModel #WW2

It was a powerful gun, but the experience of the German army led to innovation in its use. The British were married to the idea of a tank-on-tank battle, viewing AT guns as defensive tools, while the Germans were using them to wipe out British armoured forces. 🧵2/2

The German 8.8 cm Flak gun was made to target aircraft. First used against tanks during the Spanish Civil War, its success as an anti-tank weapon in North Africa is where it finds its fame. 🧵1/2
