Panther 214

Here is my completed Panther G from 2./ SS Panzer Regiment 1, 1SS Panzer Division during the Battle of the Bulge. This Panther represents Uscha. Rech's Panther 214 that took part in the assault on Stoumont, Belgium. The figure of Rech is holding his personal scissors binoculars which he used during the battle. Panther 214 can be seen in various films of the battle of Stoumont which show its dangling schurzen on the left side and another schurzen lying across the top of the turret. Various pictures of this tank can be seen in the popular book Duel in the Mist vol.1
