Thanks for those links Mr Jofaur .
There are quite a few informative sites on this tank that seem to have popped up since it restoration began.
I have uncovered an interview with one of the kids in the pictures, but it will take a bit of editing to post it.

Been checking the period pictures, looks like both stowage boxes were missing off the rear.
No indication if this was as a result of the blast that flung it over the bridge, or they were lost earlier.
Could it be that they were not fitted at the time ??

Hello,
yes Mister Herman, there are many articles on the net, since the restoration of this Panther, but nothing more precise on this event? and unfortunately, not many witnesses of the time?
on some articles it is explained that it was the blast that turned the Panther upside down? and in addition in the river and on the back, therefore impossible if possible survivors, of exits, probably drowned? weird that no witnesses mentioned this episode

Thank you Mr Herman,
You bring back memories of a roadtrip i did in 2011 with my late father who wanted to visit WW1 and WW2 sites in France and Belgium, me too of course. I made sure to bring him to Houffalize to see the Panther. The town put it in a prominent display downtown. I agree with its restauration.
The town of La Gleize is 40 minutes away to see one of Peiper's King Tiger.
And Vimoutier in Normandy to see the Tiger 1 among so many other fascinating places.

Herman,
And people ask why we as Modelers do so much German Armor. They all have fascinating stories to tell if One will just stop and listen. Following along to hear this particular Panzers Tale.

Painless

I am humble to hear your Dad passed away, but at least he got to see & touch things that obviously meant a lot to him.
many folks never get that chance..................
The 111 Panther looked exactly the same when I was there & the town did little to clean it up after that.
The KT looks the same and so does the Vimoutiers Tiger !
Its an amazing small geographic location crammed with places to see & "feelings" to take in...............

Gentlemen,
Very lucky to have seen and touched such amazing historical artifacts. I'll probably never get the chance, in all reality. The ass clowns who deface such important and rare historical items should be pummeled!
Best regards,
Eric.
