Another Panther of Pz.Brig.111 entering Bures on 20 Sept. 1944.
The tank is painted in the standard mid to late war (consisting of a Dunkelgelb RAL 7028 base with Rotbraun RAL 8017 &Olivgrün RAL 6003 patterns as per the Panzer-Waffenamt order of 18.2.1943) scheme with the usual foliage cover. Many of the transport trucks had broken down or destroyed at this time (which explains their high loses of Panthers during the Alsace-Lorraine campaign) which is why you tend to see more and more armored vehicles carrying infantry. This solved two logistical problems, escort for the armor and infantry transportation.
