In the car, the yellow finish makes this almost entirely covered with a whitewash winter camouflage, cover running out of suspension, barrel and cradle it.

control Cart PzKpfw V Panther Ausf. A Grossdeutschland Panzer Regiment, southern Ukraine, January 1944.
This car was the regimental commander, Oberst Langkeit Willi, who is seen in the tower in the photo that was taken this illustration the officer who is standing in the foreground, left, Oberst Karl Lorenz has been incorrectly identified as its commander. The factory finish is completely yellow covered with washed up in winter. The emblem faded national cross is painted on the front corners of the sides of the hull in its usual position in the Panther. The distinctive tower is interesting: a small black-the divisional emblem Stahlhelm GD-division and a zero in black.

PzKpfw V Panther Ausf. A / G, 3 SS Panzer Division Totenkopf, Kovel Poland, April 1944.
This car seems to be a mixture obtained by matching helmet Ausf. A tower with an Ausf. G, this arrangement was not unusual, since the vehicle sent to the rear for major repairs were often empowered to last level. The mimetic is conventional soft mottled colors and application, again, note the provision of zimmerit. The target number of the tower seems to identify the 1st car, 1st section (zug), 1st company. Less common is the presence of a divisional emblem, these are rarely seen in a Panther, but the photos show the skull of the Totenkopf clearly marked on the right of the glacis, as in illustration. Another photo of the same sequence shows a Panther from behind, the container supplies from the back left of the helmet carries the cross national central position, and the skull, below left.

This cart Co. 4th. spots has sharp edges, especially marked on the plates of the panels. The marks are conventional.
control Cart PzKpfw V Panther Ausf. A, 1 SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler, Normandy, summer 1944.
This car has been identified in several ways, a careful study of the pictures, if however, provides a clear divisional ID: LSSAH currency is deeply zimmerit marked on the side and rear quarter of the tower. The R02 in red and white on the back of the tower and skirts, more often at an earlier stage of the war, identifies the car of deputy command of the regiment, in the top brass regimental. The interesting logo of the tower has also been interpreted in different ways, the colors are necessarily speculative, but the comparison of tones in the original photographs as Osprey were yellow and black. The meaning of the panther and lightning SS style is clear, the circle may represent a target of cannon or a wagon wheel. The mimetic is conventional.
PzKpfw V Panther Ausf. G, probably 11 / 9 Hohenstaufen SS Panzer Regiment, France, summer 1944.
a typical example of Falaise disaster survivors, during the retreat through France. There are a lot of external equipment, the leaves were blended into a normal precaution under a sky dominated by Allied bombers, like a sentinel on duty flak all the time. On the factory are painted yellow and green bands quite marked edges brown. The distinctive tower is not clear: apart from the 6, other numbers can be painted on the back of it, hidden by the hatch. It is not known the meaning of the white disc of the latter. Note the rolling wheels of respect and iron frames for fuel tanks on the inside of containers rear storage.
control Cart PzKpfw V Panther Ausf. G, unknown unit, France, in late 1944.
An example, obtained from photographs, the so-called ambush mimicked applied to a Panther, in this case a flat vehicle more regimental. The mottled effect, which mimics sunlight through the foliage, this deftly managed, apparently, this scheme was very common especially in and between various Panzerjäger Königstiger.
PzKpfw V Panther Ausf. G, 4 º Bon. Coldstream Guards Armored, 6 th Car Guards Brigade, Netherlands, winter 1944-45.
This captured the German Panther was photographed on several occasions, especially in action, along with Churchill's Escape A of this battalion in the area of \u200b\u200bMaastricht, in January 1945. Cuckoo is painted in yellow at the base of each side of the tower, and a prominent ally identifiable star covering almost the entire height of the tower. The factory is yellow whitewashed over. There are also photos on this without lime, with a 153 hand painted on the right rear compartment stores.
tank destroyer M10, 150th Panzer Brigade, Ardennes, December 1944.
To identify false U.S. military vehicles used by Otto Skorzeny unit was used a complicated system, including entries in the XX or XY glasis between the codes of the firm. B, 10, Bon. Car, 5 Armored Division. It was assumed that the vehicles had to travel to the tower turned to the left, in addition to an absurd and complex system of signs with lights, gestures and even bandanas and parts of the jacket unbuttoned, which betrayed a sad ignorance of the conditions winter combat. The ruse does not fool anyone for long; the Panther/M10 B-4, B-5, B-7 and B-10 did not survive long after entering combat on the outskirts of Malmedy.
