Colorized footage of the 1945 Cologne Tank Duel

Some of the shots have been rearranged so the story is a bit different. Colorization puts a new light on the fighting. Its now easy to see the tiger getting smoked.

Was that not a panther?

I don’t know shit about fuck when it comes to tanks, but that paints quite the picture of what war once was.

Thank you for sharing.

that's a Panther medium tank, not a Tiger.

Looks like a U.S. Pershing Tank in most of the footage, including it leading the formation around 00:45. Panther was the last tank shown.

here's what a tiger did to another Pershing. After it knocked out the US tank, the inexperienced crew backed up, got stuck, and bailed out and probably went home.
