| - Débutant en 1938, la série des VK 20 a été un projet de remplacement du Panzer III, puis du Panzer IV avec la participation de MAN, Krupp et Daimler-Benz. Il était initialement prévu qu'il pèse 20 tonnes, mais il a augmenté à 24 tonnes. En novembre 1941, les dessins étaient presque achevés, mais contre le jugement professionnel de Wa Pruef 6, et l'ingérence politique en décembre 1941, tous les dessins et modèles ont été abandonnés. La source de cette décision est arrivée à cause des nombreuses rencontres avec les T-34 et KV-1.Le Reichsminister Fritz Todt a déclaré qu'un nouveau char, de 30 tonnes doit être conçu et réalisé. a fait valoir que le développement de ce nouveau char ferait perdre du temps, que le nombre produit serait réduit et que les ponts des ingénieurs ne pouvaient pas soutenir un tel char. Ce nouveau char choisi de la série des VK 30, qui allait devenir le Panther, remplace la série des VK 20. Cette décision a été prise à cause de la production précipitée du Panther de MAN, comme nouveau char moyen standard de l'armée Allemande, qui comportait encore des problèmes jamais entièrement réglés, particulièrement pour la dernière transmission. La série des VK 20 serait également arrivée trop tard, alors que la position de l'Allemagne se trouvait compromise, ayant perdu l'initiative. (fr)

This new tank chosen from the VK 30 series would become the Panther, replacing the VK 20 series. This decision would place the rushed MAN Panther into production as Germany's new standard medium tank, which was plagued with issues never fully addressed especially those caused by MAN's final drive. It would also arrive too late, with Germany's position in a steep decline, having lost the initiative. (en)
