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 direct translation of "panzer" from German to English is "armor". Thus all armored vehicles (from tanks to APCs to IFVs, self-propelled artillery, and even MRAP or similar vehicles) are referred to as "panzers" in German.

The correct translation for "tank" into German would be "panzerkampfwagen".
