Very nice read, thanks for posting this. Where did you get it from?
Fallschirmjager:
Thanks!
More or less this is a culmination of 13 years of researching any and all articles I could find on German use of IR equipment. The line drawings and exact equipment marks came from the Waldemor Toijca book PzKpfw. V Panther vol.2, the information on Gert B. came from The Nordic Edge vol.1 (this is mostly a book on scale models, but the information was researched and the vet personally contacted by the author of the article), Germany’s Panther: The Quest for Combat Supremacy and Panther and its Variants. I also contacted a few owners of documentation and equipment.
