Hey guys, can anyone tell me if this Panther, one of the ones issued to the LAH, and featured in the After the Battle book, had a three tone camo? Was it done with ambush spots?

Also, does anyone know if it had the LAH crest on the left hand side of the front glacis plate(left hand from inside the tank and facing forwards that is).

Regards from the Swamp

Hi Hawkeye ..I do believe it is one of the 1st SS panthers and no there was no LAH crest on their tanks during the BoB campaign. Now I don't have any pictures of 221 I do have one of 225 and it looks like just a standard 3 color cammo... sorry I can't help any more than that.
