Thanks, I didn’t think that was right. But it’s been a very long time since I played Panzerbitz.

Not necessarily. All tanks were “Panzers” or armored vehicles. But this one was a Panther, rather than a Tiger or a Löwe (Lion). It’s confusing I know.

The German mark V was known as the panther, and the mark VI the tiger. Panzer is German for tank.

PANZER is German for "armor", an generic term. A Panther is a particular design and manufactured model, a specific designation.

Panther

It was known as ‘’The Mark 5 ‘’Panther Tank’’. “Panzer’’ in German simply means ‘’armored’’ or a generic name for a tank in German.
