Does the tank at the end is a m26 pershing kicking a panther ass? Never saw that video.


Warning- some graphic content
 
Seems like a mash-up to me. I've seen that particular archival footage of that specific Panther brewing up many times before.
I've never seen it super-imposed with the footage of the M26. The Pershing footage, however, I've never seen before and I'm pretty well read. Cheers.
 
The Panther had the M26 in his sights apparently from what I read years ago and was traversing a lead on the Pershing waiting for it to fully stop to fire it's main gun at the Panther. Unknown to the Mark 5 commander, the M26 had a fully stabilized gun and fired on the move accurately getting the first hit. It all went down hill from there for the Panther as the clip shows.
 
The white race in civil war ignited by mad politicians. Very sad.

like the normans and the anglo saxons? or the romans and the english? or the english and the scots? how about the picts? were they part of the "white race" you speak of? did politicians even exist to start those "civil" wars? how about the british and french? or the american revolution? war of 1812?

we have been killing each other the world over for millennia, before we could even travel far enough to find people of a different skin colour, we find neanderthal skeletons with weapon wounds marked into their bones.

Grizz

20 Century wars in Europe was a kind a civil wars, like civil war in US in 19 Century. From that wars Europe was doomed. In 50 years Europe may be Europe Muslim Caliphat.

Bingo. Look at what muslims are doing to each other now because they aren't the 'right' kind of muslim. Christians did that in our history, too.
 
That is probably the most famous tank duel of WW2 captured on video. Panther kills Sherman, and then one of the only Pershings in the entire ETO nails the Panther. There are interviews with the crew of the M26 around, and slo mo video where they label each of the Panther crew as they bail out. Amazing how many of them got away!
 
Most of the Panther crew escaped, I wonder how it would have been for the Pershing crew if they took a hit like that??

Very badly. Unless the Panther crew scored a terribly unlucky (or very lucky, depending on which end of the gun you're on), bounce/ricochet, the M26 would have been easily disabled. Both tanks could easily penetrate each other from any angle, assuming proper shot placement.
