The Panzer IV was the brainchild of German general and innovative armored warfare theorist Heinz Guderian.[1] In concept it was intended to be a support tank for use against enemy anti-tank guns and fortifications.[2] Ideally, the tank battalions of a panzer division would each have three medium companies equipped with Panzer IIIs, and one heavy company of Panzer IVs.[3] On 11 January 1934, the German army wrote the specifications for a "medium tractor", and issued them to a number of defense companies. To support the Panzer III, which was to be armed with a 37 millimeters (1.46 in) anti-tank gun, the new vehicle would mount a short-barreled 75 millimeters (2.95 in) main gun, and was allotted a weight limit of 24 tonnes (26.46 short tons). Development was carried out under the name Bataillonsführerwagen.(battalion commander's vehicle)
Trick question. They are the same tank. Panzer manufactured the Tiger. Actually, there was no such tank known as a "panzer" tank. Panzer is a german word meaning "armored vehicle". ALL german tanks were thus "panzer" tanks. The original question could be confusing "panzer" with "panther", which was a specific model of tank. The Panther was a medium-heavy tank, where the Tiger was a true heavy tank. The Tiger came out slightly before the Panther, and thus, was technologically inferior to the Pather in terms of design. It's a bit hard to compare the Tiger to Panther, as they were constructed with different design goals, and were used together for most of the second half of WW2. Alternately, the original question could refer to any one of the "original" German tank models, which were commonly known as "Panzer I" through "Panzer IV", which were abbreviations for their full name: panzerkampfwagon I, II, III, or IV. These were pre-war designs, and significantly inferior to either the Panther or Tiger.
Answer Panzer is a word that refers to German armor (armour). Panzer-Grenadier was a unit that a mechanized infantry unit. Interestingly, a police unit was organized by Herman Goring and it grew into size to become an infantry unit, that was under the command of the Luftwaffe(Air Force). This unit grew large enought to be a Division with armored attached. It's official name was "Herman Goring Fallschrim-PanzerKorps" which literally translates to Armored Parachute Corps. However, they were not paratroopers.
All the battles the Germans fought. At the start of the war the Panzer IV was the newest, most modern German tank. At the end of the war, though outclassed by the Panzer V and VI, the Panzer IV was still in service.
