@megatylerrock nah, not in a long run. fascism would fail eventually, and nazi empire would fall apart. plus do not forget that many germans disliked nazis, and the whole idea of taking over other countries.
In German, the word Panzer literally means ARMOUR, thus PANZERKAMPHFWAGEN literally means Armoured Fighting Vehicle, I only mention this because some people seem to think Panzer means Panther tank, which is totally incorrect.
@mechdinosaur The word Panzer, does not mean Panther tank dude, it literally means TANK, in German. The Germans actually called all their tanks Panzers=Tanks, they also called the Panther tank , The Panther Panzer, they called the Tiger Tank, the Tiger Panzer, and they called the Mark IV tank, the Mark IV Panzer, and so on.
@Rooster1Cogburn So what the hell else is he supposed to call it? The name it was given sixty years ago, or something he made up off the top of his head, give me a fucking break.
@GefGZ LOL, that went' way over your head didn't it? He can call it a TANK or be can call it a PANZER, but NOT a "Panzer Tank." Let me help you out some more: "Attorney" and "lawyer" mean the same thing. You can either EITHER ONE, but you a fucktard is your keep saying "attorney lawyer."
@Rooster1Cogburn OMG there you go again being and arrogant ignoramus spreading your nonsense and bad attitude on every video that you visit... "Panzer" is short for Panzerkampfwagen which literally translates into armored fighting vehicle... The narrator says "panzer tank" in order to distinguish them from allied tanks obviously... Now would you please lighten up, get off your high horse and quit being such an ass hat all the time???
@My49ers4life "Panzer" means tank in German, you dimwit. Ignorant is just not knowing, stupid is refusing to learn. You're firm in your choice to just be stupid, aren't you?
@Digitalunderground2 Who gives a flying fuck what some WWII vets call it, you stupid dipshit. You think being a WWII vet gives them some type of credibility over what "panzer" or "tank" means? Stupid fucking cunt. You are no doubt steadfast and motivated to stay as stupid as you can through your life. I'm going to get in my car automobile now and drink some H20 water and then see a movie film before taking a nap sleep. Fucking moron.
@Rooster1Cogburn The have more creds than you dumbass they actually saw and fought one. Who the fuck are you to tell people what to call them? All you do is regurgitate information you got from wikipedia you uneducated shit.
@Digitalunderground2 Jesus fucking Christ, you have no idea how STUPID you sound. I actually feel embarassed for YOU. If you ever grow up (or mature) and read these comments you wrote some years from now you'll feel like dying. Trust me, you might as well have "stupid kid" written on your greasy pimply forehead. The first thing you need to do to be taken seriously is learn how to USE A FUCKING COMMA. Fucking illiterate corn pone piece of shit. We're all stocked up on stupid here, get out.
@Rooster1Cogburn LOL that's funny telling me to be mature. CLASSIC! Aren't you the retard that gets worked up over what someone calls it? AND I NEED TO GROW UP LOL. Hey you're starting to sound like a broken record saying the same shit over and over like I said all you do is regurgitate the same thing over and over

@Rooster1Cogburn I highly doubt you'd even go to your "car automobile" and watch a "movie film" I mean someone that gets so worked up over a name has no life. Am I right? I mean you just did what you were criticizing the guy for. Fucking hypocrite get the fuck out of youtube please.
There should be a sign that says you must be this educated to enter. You'd be the first retard out. Yes score one for me 0 for you :)
STFU Let me help you out retard. This is what you typed
"that went' way over your head didn't it? He can call it a TANK or be can call it a PANZER, but NOT a "Panzer Tank." Let me help you out some more: "Attorney" and "lawyer" mean the same thing. You can either EITHER ONE, but you a fucktard is your keep saying "attorney lawyer."
Are you that pathetic that you can't even read what you typed? Let me give you some time to read that lets say a week at most?
@Rooster1Cogburn The term "Panzer tank", is used to describe the formation the tank belonged to, as well as being due to the fact it's a part of its name... Panzerkampfwagen means "Armoured Fighting Vehicle", though the word "Panzer" itself means "Armour". So he isn't saying "tank tanks" at all... Read a book, young man.
@Rooster1Cogburn Well, I'm a history teacher and you're just a troll, normally at this point if it had been an amicable discussion I would've sent you a link to my own history channel, but I won't as you'll likely just spam silly comments there too. I won't be replying again, but I still think you should take another look at the facts.
dam Germans and there inventions. Tell you what though, look how much"Spoils of war" we obtained from them after the war, Rocket tech/Jet Power/Eletric Batterys/Weapons/just to name a few. Seems the German people allways loved inventing, shit after the war we hired Warner von Braun, he helped NASA go to the moon, why not since he was out of a job. Even the Prussians were called a Army with a nation, and not vice-versa
I think this show perpetuates a myth that German tanks were good. They were overengineered, underpowered and prone to malfunction. Even french had better tanks before they folded. Germans were kicking ass early in the war for other reasons.
Of course Germans had some amazing ideas but alot of countries had amazing ideas. British developed radar, U.S.developed proximity fuzes (probably the deadliest innovation ever) and nukes, Japanese came up with cruise missiles (kamikaze.)
Germany had good tanks (STUG tanks) in the beginning but got underpowered when war continued and the later tanks had just not the right compromise between armor, engine and firepower.
And french had better tanks? They even hadn't radios in their tanks...
I think the angular interlocking jointed welded armour made the German tanks hard for mass production. The German Rudolf Diesel invented the reliable fuel designated diesel, hard to understand why the German tank adopted the more violatile gasoline?
A Hawker Typhoon could take out the Ratte easily. They fired 60-lb rockets into the top or back of tanks. A P-47 could drop a 500-lb napalm bomb on it and turn it into a funeral pyre.
Well, my reply was as banal as yours, because there is no way the Ratte (or more of them for that matter) would be moving around landscapes unprotected.
Sure, every piece of war machinery has its weak spots, but you have to give props to the Germans for having such colossal ideas.
@SuperMachinegunner Maus and King Tiger were aweful. One King Tiger cost as much as four Stug III assault guns and they were plagued with mechanical problems due to their weight.
@KrVoLoK That never realistically happened, German mechanized units were across the board afraid of P-47s and not the other way around. Proven by the fact that after Normandy German armored units have to move heavily camouflaged and at night. If there were Flak38s everywhere and they were as effective as your suggesting then German armor would have moved with impunity in daylight instead of cowering in fear of fighter bombers across all fronts in WWII.
@ydobon95 In World War 2 the Germans did have the most advanced weapons, but now it is undeniable that the US has the most technologically advanced military. Germany still makes some fantastic weaponry; I am a big fan of the H&K 416 and mp7. I believe that Germany is still on the forefront of small-arms production and your weapons and troops are very excellent. Besides, we are all friends now and many modern weapons systems are co-developed between countries.

a panther is a black leopard big cat
and a panzer
is something like an armoured shell around something
like armour
but with some more meanings
for example a beatle got a "panzer", his protected exosceleton
the armoured fighting vehicle is called panzer
because its an armoured hull
