| "Debut at Caumont", Normandy 30th July, 1944 by
David Pentland The Jagdpanther was considered by many to have been
the most potent anti-tank weapon of the war, combining the armoured lines
of the Panther tank and awesome power of the 88mm gun. This was probably
first demonstrated during the British advance through the Caumont Gap
during "Operation Bluecoat" when the Jagdpanthers of Heavy Tank
Battalion 654 engaged the Churchills of the 6th Guards Tank Brigade. A
squadron of Churchills covering Point 226 suddenly started exploding one
after another. Breaking cover from the "Bois du Homme" 2
Jagdpanthers covered by a third proceeded to pick off more of the British
tanks only retreating when they came under fire. Although the 2
Jagdpanthers had to be abandoned due to track damage, they managed to
destroy 14 of the Scots Guards tanks in an engagement which lasted only 2
minutes!
The Jagdpanther was probably the most
effective variant o fthe Panther. A total of 382 had been built between
January 1944 and March 1945. Armed with the 8.8mm FLak Gun which had
already proved itself as a devastating efficiency as a tank destroyer.
But until the panther was built no tank chassis was strong and reliable enough
to carry such a formidable gun. The Jagdpanther was built by Muhlenbau und
Industrie AG in their Brunwick factory. It was crewed by 5 men and carried
60 shells. it had a range of 100 miles and a speed of 30MPH. it
could engage the enemy vehicles at a range of 2,700 yards. (2,469metres.)
The Jagdpanthers was organised
into Troops of heavy anti0tank battalions consisting of 14 vehicles
per company and three companies to the battalion. each Company was
split into three platoons of four tanks and two kept as company HQ
