Re: Pz. V Panther in non-German service?
Czechoslovakia, AFAIK, didn't get so many working Panthers, though there was a substantial number of damaged/immobile, generally not worth repairing with new T-34/85's and quite lot of Hetzers and PzKpfw IV's. For some time it was considered to mount Panther turrets on new objects of border fortifications, built in the line of pre-WWII, to bolster their AT defenses, but that project went dead due to high costs. Dunno what happened with the tanks after that, prolly scrap metal yard.
