Hotchkiss H35 vs Panzer 35(t): France 1940

Envisaged as a light cavalry tank, the French Hotchkiss H35 had a two-man crew, while the four-man Czechoslovak Panzer 35(t) equipped Germany’s 6. Panzer-Division in 1940. Each armed with a 37mm main gun, the two types saw extensive combat in the battle for France in 1940; both would equip German rear-area units for a number of years after their withdrawal from the front line.

Hornisse/Nashorn vs T-34: Kursk 1943

Designed to defeat Soviet armour at long range, the SdKfz 164 Hornisse mounted the formidable 8.8cm PaK 43 anti-tank gun on an open-topped chassis, harnessing its superb accuracy and long-range firepower to knock out Soviet tanks. Its principal opponent at Kursk, the 76.2mm-armed T-34 medium tank, combined excellent mobility and sloped armour with the 76.2mm F-34 main gun.

Tiger vs SU-85: Ukraine 1943–44

Following its major role in the battle of Kursk, the Tiger heavy tank fought on the defensive during the late 1943 fighting around Kiev. Making its combat debut in August 1943, the Soviet Union’s SU-85 was based on the SU-122 self-propelled howitzer; its 85mm D-5T gun mounted in a casemate, the type’s low profile and innovative main armament made it a formidable threat to Germany’s Panzers.

Archer vs Panzer IV: Netherlands 1944

Mounting the formidable 17-pdr anti-tank gun, the Archer was based on the Valentine tank chassis and first saw action in late 1944. Featuring additional armour and the proven 7.5cm KwK 40 main gun, the veteran Panzer IV still equipped front-line German units at this time. The two types took the field during the Allied effort to liberate the Netherlands in late 1944.

Comet vs Panther: Rhine Crossing 1945

The 77mm-armed A34 Comet equipped Britain’s 11th Armoured Division during the closing months of World War II in Europe, while the 7.5cm-armed Panther was the mainstay of the German Army’s Panzer divisions from 1943 on. Both types fought during Operation Varsity in March 1945, as the Allied armies strove to cross the Rhine in the teeth of bitter German opposition.
