Averaged out to 200.
The 3rd Tank Division - the largest of Japan's 4 armored divisions - had 24 tanks.
There were several famous German Tanks. One of them was the Panzer, another was the Tiger tank, and lastly, the modern-day German tank is the Leopard II.
In a tank on tank encounter, I'd want to be in the Tiger.
Michael Wittmann he was in the Waffen SS Panzer division. He destroyed 138 tanks and 132 anti tank gund.
The Battle of Britain was an air battle and had no use for tanks unless they were used to subdue downed German pilots which would be a bad use for a tank.
Michael Wittmann, a German tank commander during World War II, is credited with destroying a total of 138 tanks. Wittmann achieved this impressive feat primarily while serving in the 1st SS Panzer Division. His successful tank engagements, particularly during the Battle of Villers-Bocage in June 1944, earned him a reputation as a highly skilled and effective tank commander.
It was dependent on many factors, but probably somewhere between 100 and 200. As the war dragged on and turned against Germany, panzer divisions were seldom up to their intended number of tanks.
The Canadians concentrated on getting tanks ashore as early as possible. the British were not far behind. Together the Canadians and British landed over 900 tanks on the first day. -I am not certain about American tank numbers, but do know that many of their DD tanks sank far off the beaches through being launched early, or were blown up on Omaha Beach. We only hear of a few American tank engagements on the first day or two, so I believe their tanks came mainly after the 6 th.
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.
The two well known tanks that begin with the letter P in use during WW2, are the Panther tank and the Panzer tank. Both of which are German inventions.
What German Tank had trouble with Gears? Bascially as German Tank development became biased toward heavier tanks they all did! The Panther, Tiger I, King Tiger, JagdTiger all had problems with the gears, The heavier tanks put more weight on transmission and engine drive which in turn led to more strain on the gears. These issues were never resolved. The Panther weighed in at 45 tons and initially had many problems with the gears (Amongst other things!) but this was resolved and it went on to become one of the best medium tanks of the war.
That was originally a German tactic. A Sherman Sheperd dog was trained to get under a tank with a pack on the back. When faced by enemy tanks, the pack was loaded with explosives which exploded the tank and the dog.
