How about you will back your claim that tank that was introduced to service on EASTERN FRONT just before African theater was concluded was in African campaign.
This is the only panther was was in africa at that time
I know that the Panthers saw action in battle of Kursk.
I remember that I have read it somewhere that they used both Tigers and Panthers in the end of the campaign of 1943 in North Africa because Hitler insisted on it, but of course I can remember wrong. It could be that they used only tigers. Nevertheless, we have at least tigers, which saw action in North Africa, and they can thus be used for a combined German/Italian faction 1941-1945. It would be better, because in this case, that faction would not have the fast Panther tank (as Ostheer and OKW), but only a slow Tiger and even more slower Elephant. But I can try to check out if the Panther was used or not.
