tweak as the Waffen-SS used it as well. I know German language nouns, even common nouns, are always capitalized; I was writing in a hurry; thanks for catching it here
There were multiple Panzers designed and built for the Germans over the course of war, from the lightly-armed Panzer I in 1938 to the massive "[[King Tiger Tank|Königstiger (Bengal Tiger)]], also known as the "PzKfW VI Ausführung B," in 1944.

The most common Wehrmacht tank throughout the war was the Panzer IV, which was produced in at least eight major variants and many sub-models. However the best-known Panzers of the war were the '''[[Panther Tank|Panther]]''' medium tank, originally called the "Panzer V" and '''Tiger I''' heavy tank, originally called the "Panzer VI Ausführung E". The Panther is considered by many to be the best overall tank of World War II, rivaled only by the Soviet T-34/85. The Panther was also used as the basis for many Western tank designs in the immediate post-war era.

The picture below is that of a '''Panzer II''', which featured prominently in the invasion of Poland in 1939 and France in 1940.
