The Jagdpanther or Hunting Panther was a Nazi tank destroyer made by the Germans and used during the later stages of World War II in 1944. The Jagdpanther saw battle in both the Western and Eastern fronts. This tank was based on the Panther tank chassis, and combined with the Tiger II PaK 43 cannon (8.8 cm) it was a formidable fighting machine. The suspension and armor of the Panther tank nevertheless suffered because of Germany's sorry state in the latter part of the war. There was a shortage of parts, poorly trained crew and dwindling production.

In late 2008, a couple of rusting remains of WWII tanks were found about 10 miles off the coast in West Sussex. Experts identified them as the premiere Centaur CS IV, based mainly on the artillery. This was the only known Centaur model to witness the fighting in war. It was fitted with 51 rounds of ammo (95mm howitzer). These amphibians had waterproof engine inlets and wading gear for helping them ashore and waterproof covers were fitted to their fighting machine's guns. The tanks were proudly used by the Royal Marines. According to historians the tanks found were two of 80 tanks that were headed out on D-Day to the beaches of France. How the rusting pair sank is still unknown though. A total of 114 Centaur CS IV tanks were ever made and the current number of surviving units is only four.

Did you know that during the 1930s Vladimir Levkov had designed and built a number of hovercrafts. His design attempts where trying to make vortex engines and mate them with tanks to render them amphibious. Though the results were rumored to have never even progressed beyond mock up stages, photos in this article prove that to be different. The history behind these types of crafts has been almost forgotten by many since WWII. The fact is that the Soviet Union had an experimental military armored cavalry which in today's world has become the hover tank. There are notable differences between and amphibious hovertank and hovercraft. One treads across dry land to move at a rapid rate of speed and the other with a vortex engine can make it float across bogs or slow moving bodies of water. Ultimately this proves that Levkov's designs held a lot of valuable technology.
