Q:"http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_kind_of_vehicle_was_the_Bergepanther_in_World_War_2"A: The Bergepanther was a German Heavy Recovery vehicle based on the Panther chassis. There were two versions of this vehicle. The early was simply a Panther Ausf D or A that did not have a turret installed and some mounting points for towing or pushing disabled vehicles. The reduction in weight gave the Bergepanther the power to tow disabled tanks for repair. The later vehicle was based on the Panther Ausf A or G chassis, but a powerful winch was installed under where the turret would have been on a normal Panther. This winch enabled the Bergepanther to pull disabled vehicles from mud bogs or ditches with the aid of a large ground spade mounted on the rear. This spade would dig into the ground and allow the Bergepanther to pull in vehicles that weighted more than it and not slide towards the stuck vehicle. There were a whole family or group of recovery vehicles developed by the German called Bergepanzer. Most of these were vehicles without their turrets, but the Bergepanther and a Bergehetzer were built with winches to pull using a steel cable.
