The word is used in English and some other languages as a loanword in the context of the German military. It derives through the French word pancier, " breastplate", from Latin pantex, "belly". Panzer ( / ˈ p æ n z ər/ German pronunciation: ( listen)) is a German word that means " armour". When the Allied forces technically managed to surpass the earlier German tanks in battle, they still had to face the experience and skills of the German tank crews and most powerful and technologically advanced later tanks, such as the Panther, the Tiger I and Tiger II, which had the reputation of being fearsome opponents. In the subsequent more troubled and prolonged campaigns, German tanks proved to be adaptable and efficient adversaries to the Allies. German tanks were an important part of the Wehrmacht and played a fundamental role during the whole war, and especially in the blitzkrieg battle strategy. In addition to domestic designs, Germany also used various captured and foreign-built tanks.
Nazi Germany developed numerous tank designs used in World War II.
