Not only is Mother Russia a muddy mother but that double torsion bar overlapping road wheel setup is an even bitchier mother to repair. Doubled that in muddy and icy conditions. |

The road wheel arrangement coupled with a torsion bar suspension was supposed to increase speed. Great idea in theory. As you mention, in practice it wasn't so great. The Panther tank was soon limited (can't recall the actual speed) to a fraction of its potential speed due to suspension difficulties. 0.ww2.jpg [ 112.63 KiB | Viewed 6631 times ] 0.ww3.jpg [ 77.15 KiB | Viewed 6631 times ] And more mud...

Wasn't the panthers top speed limited because of the extra weight they added to it making the tank to heavy for the drive sprocket as designed and prone to fail at speed? Bad design either way. |

Found another photoset on a Russky site & lifted what I thought were the most interesting equipment pics. There were a lot of gore and posed propaganda pics, but those get old pretty quick. I'm not sure what everything is here. SW 1) No idea what this is 0.ww1.jpg [ 144.99 KiB | Viewed 6543 times ] 2) FW-189 "owl" I think. 0.ww2.jpg [ 36.04 KiB | Viewed 6543 times ] 3) Vichy French? 0.ww3.jpg [ 41.28 KiB | Viewed 6543 times ] 4) Tank buster 0.ww4.jpg [ 69.71 KiB | Viewed 6543 times ] 5)Not sure what this is 0.ww5.jpg [ 133.61 KiB | Viewed 6543 times ] 6) Biz end of an FW-190 0.ww6.jpg [ 130.46 KiB | Viewed 6543 times ] 7) 3.7cm mount on a Stuka 0.ww7.jpg [ 79.61 KiB | Viewed 6543 times ] 8)Caption said HE-111 but I can't say for sure. 0.ww8.jpg [ 100.34 KiB | Viewed 6543 times ] 9) Another tank buster - not sure what model aircraft. 0.ww9.jpg [ 109.18 KiB | Viewed 6543 times ] 10) That's gonna void the warranty! 0.ww10.jpg [ 133.26 KiB | Viewed 6543 times ] |

My dentist's father was part of the original flight crew that developed the Me163 rocket fighter. He showed me his Father's wartime pictures of all the high ranking nazis and that was truly scary to behold. Goring's and Gallant's photos from a personal camera are far more spooky to look at in a photo album than a history book. No, he didn't do any Marathon man stuff on me. Best Regards, Mark |
