Just kidding Devil Dawg,just kidding [B]
I know. [t$t][proplr]
The German word for Panther is not panzer. The German word for tank, before that coat of mail; is panzer.
The German word for panther is panther.
The German word for tiger is tiger, and the German phrase for Bengal Tiger is Konigstiger, which does not mean King Tiger.
The Panther was a midwar design based on the encounter with the Russian T-34, the best medium tank in 1942. As usual, the Germans took something very simple, easy to build and operate, and created something big, complicated, difficult to build and requiring trained crews.
LOL…
Ya sure nailed that right !
But
Look at the pictures agin guys !
It couldn;t go anywhere .It didn’t have tracks on it ! The law is simple .Pay a very big tax and you can have a de-militarized vehicle . I/E No Breech , no MG and certainly none of these funny shaped things that were called " Bullets " . Oh , and NONE of those objectional markings either !
True about the “Konig”. Its bizarre how it works actually. “Konig” literally translates to “King”. However the Deutsch Language does not refer to the Bengal Tiger as a “Bengal” Tigerlike we do. Its Konigtiger. Basically adding the Konig (King) differentiates the subject by its size or strength and applies it to a specific species. Similar to how English refers to the “King Cobra”. We are applying this “King” name to a specific creature. We don’t mean its Royalty or King of Snakes. We use King to mean Big, Large or powerful (get your mind out of the gutter. I know some of you went there 
and separate it from the common cobra.
Lots think it means King Tiger literally but the Germans didn’t mean it in that way. They had a vision of a Bengal Tiger when they named the tank. Which just happens to have “King” tacked on the front referring to a different type of Tiger. The Bengal.
Any news on where it wound up…or is gonna wind up at?
I haven’t been able to locate any recent news in the German language internet sites.
The info is all dated from the time of the initial story.

Probably the best method would be to find out what district the tank was found and then occasionally check for on-line news for the area.
Per this news article, it must have been seized in schleswig-holstein
Heikendorf, which is down river from Kiel.
danke schön
Bitte schön
According to the original story it and the other item had been de-miled…but who knows for sure.
Yeah !
maybe the good parts are buried somewhere around the house basement ?
Definitely a Panther, Devil Dawg. Looks to be a early to mid-production Pz. V A or G…can’t say for sure. Looks like it’s in great shape…Lucky!!
The guy bought it in England in the late 1970’s. It was put together after the war at the factory, and taken to England with a number of other ones, for evaluation. When that was finished it sat in a scrap yard for a bunch of years.
Not enough weathering or rust. It needs Fruil tracks, some washes and DOT filters. [proplr]
All kidding aside, yes Dawg it’s a Panther. As stated before it was the answer to the T-34. Here is a late war clip of a Pershing stalking and killing a Panther.
