panzer division
Wehrmacht armored unit
A panzer division was a German armored military unit in World War II, built around tanks and supported by motorized infantry and artillery.
The term comes from German *Panzer* (armor).
These formations pioneered blitzkrieg tactics—rapid, concentrated strikes that overwhelmed opponents before they could organize defenses.
The panzer divisions swept through France in six weeks.
