@Jon9 Sorry, confusion is my fault. It was just the word Panzer....you might guess from my avatar, I'm a great fan if Kelly's Heroes, the film with Donald Sutherland, Clint Eastwood and Telly Savalas (amongst others). My Mrs says I should buy shares in Tiger 131
Most German armoured vehicles were given the designation Pzkfw and then a number. Pzkfw stands for Panzerkampfwagen, which translates literally as 'armoured fighting vehicle.'
Other lightly, or none armoured vehicles would be designated sdkfz "Sonderkraftfahrzeug" literally "special purpose vehicle"...things like half tracks, light armoured radio vehicles, etc....
Put my anorak away now, shall I?.....( Off I go, whistling "Burning Bridges".....)
