Description
LoL :P
This awesomely disguised panther is available for the waffen SS doctrine in CoH: Battle of the Bulge. Just incase you think it's so awesomely disguised you want to play with it :D
this only worked at distances, the m10 was a lot smaller, but then again why would you pay attention to a huge m10 driving buy, it is on "your" side afterall :P
what's interesting:
"The problem of recognition by their own forces was crucial, and they were to identify themselves by various methods: displaying a small yellow triangle at the rear of their vehicles; tanks keeping their guns pointing in the nine o' clock position; troops wearing pink or blue scarves and removing their helmets; and flashes from a blue or red torch at night."
just drive casually and no one will suspect a thing XD
And actually the waffen ss used such models or is that only fiction?
As I think its against the Geneva Conventions to use other uniforms (anyway I know the where German paratroopers that used allied uniforms as disguise)????
not fiction, it was a real secret operation behind enemy lines.

"Skorzeny was well aware that under the Hague Convention of 1907 anyone under his command who was captured in US uniform would face execution and this possibility caused much discussion with Field Marshals Jodl and von Rundstedt."
So actually the ones caught in allied uniforms were given a military trial, sentenced to death, and executed by a firing squad!
yes but that wasnt our point ;)
