What is better a panzer tank or a tiger tank?
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.
Why is almost every German tank in world war 2 named Panzer?
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.
Who invented the panzer 4 tank?
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)

Germany lost its African possessions in WW1, but other countries retained theirs, including Great Britain and Italy. In 1940, Italian Somaliland invaded British Somaliland (they are one country today, Somalia), and the British in Egypt invaded Italian Libya. The Italians won at first, but they were beaten back. To bolster them, Germany sent the Afrika Korps consisting of the 15th Panzer and 21st Panzer armored divisions commanded by Erwin Rommel. Their fight against the British is legendary, but they have no influence on African military organizations today.
