What tank did the Germans fear
This is just an example, but during Operation Barbarossa, German forces were often terrified, at least in the early days, of the T-34 and KV tanks.Nazi Germany, as part of a deliberate program of extermination, systematically killed over 11 million people including 6 million Jews. In addition to Nazi concentration camps, the Soviet gulags (labor camps) led to the deaths of 3.6 million civilians.When introduced, its 76.2 mm (3 in) tank gun was more powerful than many of its contemporaries, and its 60-degree sloped armour provided good protection against anti-tank weapons. The T-34 had a profound effect on the conflict on the Eastern Front, and had a long-lasting impact on tank design.
Its long-barreled, high-velocity 75-mm gun had good range and penetrating power against most enemy tanks, and the Panther's armour—80 mm thick at the front and 40–45 mm on the sides and rear—was sloped so that shells would ricochet off it.

Did German Panzer crews fear facing American Sherman tanks on the battlefield during World War II Yes. The panzer crew knew it was always outnumbered. If they saw 1 Sherman they always were afraid of the other 4.German tank guns proved to be somewhat ineffective at greater range and within the lethality envelope of the F-34 tank gun used by the T-34 and KV-1. Generally, the T-34 outclassed the existing Panzer III and short-barreled Panzer IV medium tanks.
Was the T-34 bad : To put it another way, the T-34 was a 'war winning' tank but this should not detract from the fact that at a tactical level its performance during four years of continuous war was relatively poor.
