![]() Initial design proposals were made by Krupp, Daimler Benz and MAN. The Panther was born out of a project started in 1938 to replace the Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks. Not a great deal of vehicles from the various factories (Pz.IVs, JgdPz.38s and Tiger IIs, Jagdpanthers) were painted in this scheme. The relatively limited photographic evidence of the use of Hinterhalt had nothing to do with 'popularity' (Tank crews didn't get to choose the colours of their tanks at this stage of the war) but because this was a very short-run scheme. The (short-lived) WW 2 German Hinterhalt or 'Ambush' schem e was at least 4 different paint schemes applied directly to Panther Gs by the MAN and Daimler-Benz factories, between 19th August and 14th September 44 (with zimmerit, on the dark yellow base) and from 14th-30th September (without zimmerit and on the red primer base).
