Probably not, but an American named Christie sold his "Christie system" to the Russian tank factories. So many, if not all, of those much talked about Russian (former Soviet) tanks actually have an American track system.
But that's all normal stuff:
1. The first German tank was a captured British tank, painted with a German insignia and sent back to attack it's former owners.
2. The first American built tanks were British and French copies.
3. The best Soviet (Russian) bomber was a copy of a captured US B-29 Superfortress.
4. The first German U-boat was a modified export model bound for Russia during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904.
5. The US 1903 Springfield Rifle was a patent infringement on the German Mauser Rifle; was settled out of court.
During the Battle of Stalingrad, 1,100 tanks were in the German 4th Panzer Army.
Panzer tanks were built primarily during the period leading up to and during World War II, with production starting in the late 1930s. The exact timeline varies depending on the specific model of the Panzer tank: Panzer I: Production began in 1934, and around 1,400 units were built until 1937. Panzer II: Production started in 1936, and approximately 1,800 units were manufactured until 1943. Panzer III: Production commenced in 1937, with over 5,700 units built until 1943. Panzer IV: Production began in 1936, and over 8,500 units were manufactured until 1945. The Panzer IV remained in production throughout the war, with continuous upgrades and modifications. These tanks were pivotal components of the German military's armored divisions during World War II, playing crucial roles in various campaigns and battles across Europe and North Africa. We have made a video about the Panzer IV tank, which can be seen on our YouTube channel @FunkyHistory
A Panzer Army is a Armored tanks with Infantry division in the German Military which included the Wehrmacht and branches of the SS. During the war, an Average Panzer Army would have 4-6 individual Panzer Divisions along with 6-14 Infantry and Cavalry Divisions and each Panzer Division at first contained around 400 Tanks at a time, so A Panzer Army would have around 2,000 Tanks a time. This decreased gradually during the war as soon as Germany launched Operation Barbarossa then Case Blue, which meant splitting the whole German Army on western Front into 3 sections then later on, split them into 2 smaller groups.
The first German Panzer Tank was the Panzer I, various modes was made but most of them were produced by either the German:HenschelMAN SEKrupperDaimler-BenzReason for this was because the Panzer I was Hitlers first attempt to rebuilding the German Tanks since the war defeat of World War 1 and it took a while to build a model which was basic cost effective with maximum delivery.It was only a Light Tank but it eventually opened a gate way of beautiful German Engineering of Tanks throughout the course of World War 2 such as the Panther, Tiger, King Tiger and would of been the Maus and E-100 and beyond.
Panzer literally means 'armour' in the German language, but, in WW2, the word Panzer meant 'Tank'. There were 7 different marks of Panzer, the Panzer I, II, III, IV, Panther, Tiger, and Konigstiger (King Tiger/Panther) in WW2.

The German word for Tank is Panzer, hence why every "Tank" is called "Panzer". Agreed. In 1942 German tanks were named after predatory cats. Tiger and Panther = panzers. Germany's Leopard II of today is a panzer. Daimler-Benz built the most panzers for the German Army in WW2, while Chrysler was the prime contractor on the Sherman. Nowadays the two have teamed up to form Daimler-Chrysler for peaceful purposes. Fiat, Baretta, Daihatsu, and Mitsubishi are other examples of Axis contractors which survived the political regimes they once served.
Panzer=Armor=tanks. Automobile makers generally produce tanks.
They were used to make "sticky bombs" to take the tracks of panzer tanks.
It varied greatly but in general a Panzer battalion would have 90-100 tanks
Like Americans, they call their tanks "armor"; in German armor is pronounced panzer. In the US Army (during the Vietnam era) an armor crewman was a tank crewman. A German tank crewman would be called a panzer crewman.
During the Battle of Berlin, the Germans had 1,519 AFV and about 1,250 of these were actual tanks. out of the 1,250 tanks, 750 of them were the German Panzer IV.
