Whatever it is, lots of nice toys in that picture, toys that you don't see often because they are not front line units.

Anyways, loading up the X-mas presents for Britain, 1940. Caption said HE 111.

Panzerzug (Tanktrain) used to defend Breslau in its last days before the capitulation at the beginning of may 45. It was armed with four 8,8 cm Flak-, one 3,7 Flak- and four 2 cm Flak-guns plus two MG 42. It also had a radio station.

omg how I love wisecrackers  :P. Panzer means tank. Armour means Panzerung or Rüstung. What you are talking about would mean gepanzerter Zug. But official name was Panzerzug, so you can actually say it's a tank within a train.. Ok it results in nearly the same, but it wasn't me complaining about that ;)

Now, I know you are German, but I must really correct you. Wisecracker 1st class  8)

'Panzer' actually always ment 'armor' in German. When 'armored cars' (aka tank) came, they were referred to as Panzer just because it was convenient (And they were the first heavily armored vehicles).

Panzer also can refer to any body armor - as in, plate armor (Plattenpanzer)...or even animal's protective shell (as in turtle shell - Schildkrötenpanzer). It is quite obvious that 'panzer' existed as a word referring to all kinds of armoring long before tanks existed. You think that derivations of 'panzer' like panzerung somehow relate to the armored tanks. It is however hence the reverse...!

Etymology also conclusively shows that panzer is _not_ a tank. Middle High German used the word 'Panzier' which ment armor, or 'armor for the belly' (medieval time).

'Panzerzug' therefor is an ARMORED train, not a tanktrain.

Tank = Panzer
Panzerkampfwagen = Armoured fighting vehicle.
Hence, panzer = armour.
