I have found this photo with a damaged Panther in Italy. I wonder what are these sticks on the frontal armor for?

Re: Damaged Panther
Those are probably a sort of fascine to help the tank navigate/get out of terrain obstacles like mud and similar...

Re: Damaged Panther
May be these sticks are kinda protection against bazooka? Coz I see the same sticks located on the turret also.

Re: Damaged Panther
Perhaps, but that part of the glacis should be impenetrable to Bazooka rockets anyhow? The turret sides are another matter, of course - befuddling...

These sticks to pull out the Panther from the bog. That is obvious explanation.
