Panther Falls Into a Pit

A Panzerkampfwagen V Panther Ausf.G (turmnummer 415) of 1.Zug / 4.Kompanie / I.Abteilung / Panzer-Regiment 1 / 1.Panzer-Division having a problem after falls into a pit as a bridge under it collapses, summer/autumn of 1944. The rope or cable they are putting on the barrel will be used to rotate the turret 90 degrees away from the camera. A Bergepanther or FAMO with a winch. or another tank, could pull the rear of the Panther away from the embankment. As the rear is moved away from the wall the front will either slid down the face or roll down if someone is in the driver's seat to release the clutch. The engine would have to be checked to make sure oil has not filled the rear cylinders of the engine, if there is fluid in the chamber it will not compress like air/fuel and damage the engine. Otherwise the Panther should be good to go, now the driver's concussion might keep him from driving for awhile.
