Pz Kpfw V Panther Ausf G with Infrared Night Vision Scope

The Panther was armed with the high velocity KwK 42 L/70 75mm gun as well as two MG34. Although earlier variants continued in service, the Ausf G was the main variant in late war Panzer Divisions right through to the end of the war. The FG1250 Sperber ("Sparrow Hawk") infrared night fighting vision scope was mounted on the commanders cupola replacing the MG42. Six Panthers with Sperber would work with one SdKfz.251/20 Uhu ("Owl") half-track with an infrared searchlight.
