Martin Drayton
from Emdee Scale Models built this diorama of the "Tank Duel at Cologne"
"On March 6th 1945, about 2pm the 3rd Armored Division's
tanks are advancing towards Cologne's center and cathedral. The city is
filled with rubble and debris, making several streets and alleyways
unaccessible to armored vehicles.
Several Us tanks are advancing from the Western city district, the only
thing stopping them was 3m high pile of debris which Shermans couldn't
climb. They stopped about 120m away from the pile. Before the tanks
could maneuver around it, a German Panther Ausf. A opened fire, hitting
the Sherman's gun shield twice. The Panther had a clear visual over the
debris pile on the American tanks from 340m away, under a railway
tunnel. The Sherman's loader and driver were killed instantly, the
commander managed to crawl out of his tank with severed leg, but he
died later when medics were treating his wounds. The gunner managed to
exit the tank with minor injuries and he survived the war.
The Panther started to advance after the Sherman was taken out,
stopping at Komödienstrasse's and Marzellenstrasse's crossroads,
observing the situation. A new M26 Pershing was ordered to investigate
the attack site and destroy the enemy tank. The Pershing advanced using
a parallel road An Den Dominikanern with its turret and periscope
turned to the Panther's supposed location.
The Panther also had its turret turned into the enemy's supposed
advancing route. The tanks met with only 200m between. The Panther
hesitated to fire due to commander not recognizing the tank, he was
expecting a smaller Sherman to appear. The Pershing opened fire on the
move and hit under the gun mantlet and it was enough to disable it.
While the Panther's crew was exiting the tank, the Pershing shot two
rounds on the Panther's hull, setting it on fire. The Panther's loader
died later in the field hospital, rest survived.
The Panther kept burning for three days and it became the symbol of the
Fall of Cologne"
