PzKfW Mk.IV Panzer
The Panzer Mk. IV was a devastating force throughout World War II for the German Army. Armed with a 75-mm main gun, the Panzer provided the Germans with a powerful and mobile weapon. If the Panzer Mk. IV had one drawback it was its lack of speed for a light tank. Between 1940 and 1945, Germany produced over 8,000 of these tanks.

There theres a Panzer!

And heres a Tiger

PzKfW Mk.VI Tiger
The German “Tiger” tank was heavily armored and packed a powerful punch. Initially designed in response to the success of the Russian T-34, the first Tiger tanks to come off the production lines were not very reliable. However, over time German engineers fine-tuned these battle machines, and the Tiger tank would become one of the most feared tanks in WWII.

And heres the B-17 every one thoght they wouldnt put in

B-17 Flying Fortress
The B-17 helped turn the tide of the war by delivering heavy blows to the Third Reich. Though maneuverable for a large aircraft, America’s standard heavy bomber was still an inviting target for fast German fighters like the Messerschmitt. The B-17 bomber was utilized effectively as a scout plane in the Pacific, assisting the U.S. Navy in the battle against the Japanese fleet.

And for no reason.

Why was this in the U.S.A section???

HMS Prince of Wales
The HMS Prince of Wales engaged Germany’s battleship Bismarck in one of the crucial turning points of WWII. Though seriously damaged, the Prince of Wales sunk the Bismarck in what is now regarded as one of the great naval victories of the war. Two days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese aircraft attacked and destroyed the Prince of Wales.

WTF Where are the gun turrets in the back???

LCVP Higgins Boat
Designed to transport fully armed troops and the material necessary for amphibious assault, these boats were the perfect vehicles for landing thousands of troops in a relatively short timeframe. In addition, by using the “Higgins Boats” to establish beachheads, Allied forces didn’t have to rely on securing ports, which were, in most cases, more heavily defended.

that data is incorrect, it makes you think that PzIV's nickname is "panzer" like the PZ-VI is "Tiger" Pz-V is "Panther" etc.

the Pz-I through Pz-IV did not have nicknames, they were called by their numeric designations. (maybe crews had nicknames but no official name was assigned)

any German tank is a Panzer, but a Panzer is not a type of German tank.

Like an F-4U Corsair is a fighter but if you were a squadron commander asking for replacements you would say "I need 3 F-4Us" or "I need 3 Corsairs" not "I need 3 fighters", your Marines might get stuck with brewster Buffaloes!

Panzer is a generic term for any tank (in the German language), however if you spotted a tank you would try to be more specific.
(because while both a T-40 tankette and a JS-2 are both tanks, the Germans would hurt a lot more if they encountered a JS-2)

Any of this making sense to any of you???
