<strong>The</strong> PanzerKampfwagen VG Panther was the peak of the Panther series and was produced right up until the<br />
end of the war, with 3,126 being built altogether. Armor thickness was improved, shot traps eliminated, and<br />
even a heater for the crew compartment was installed. <strong>The</strong> Panther was the peak of German armored vehicle<br />
design, and influenced tank design around the world for several years.<br />
