Panzer IV

The term Panzer is a generic term, used to this day for a Tank, primarily in Germany. The term comes from an abbreviation of the German word for Tank: Panzerkampfwagen, roughly meaning Armored Battle/Struggle Car.

Panzer is also the name for a series of German Tanks coming in four main variants. Other German Tanks also carried Panzerkampfwagen (often further abbreviated to PzKw.) including the Panther and Tiger Tanks.
