The Panther Ausf.G medium tank, an improved version of the Panther Ausf.D and Ausf.A tanks, was a German main equipment in the late World War II. The 45.5-ton Panther Ausf.G was introduced in March 1944. It had enhanced protection in key areas. Both the weight of the whole vehicle and the production time needed was reduced. In the final stage of the war, some Panther Ausf.G tanks were equipped with armor plates on the top of the turret and the engine air intake to enhance passive air defense capabilities to resist growing air threats.
