Notes

Vehicle: Pz stands for Panzerkampfwagen. With two exceptions, all were designed and produced by Germany. The two exceptions are the Czech tanks the Germans acquired when they occupied Czechoslovakia in 1939, the Pz 35(t) and Pz 38(t). (The "(t)" indicated they were Czech tanks, from the first letter of the German word for Czechoslovakia, Tschechoslowakei.)

Year: With two exceptions, the year the tank entered production. The two exceptions, again, are the Czech tanks, where the year indicates the year in which Germany acquired the tanks. (The Pz 35 first entered production in 1935, and the Pz 38 in 1938.)

Speed: Speed in mph (multiply by 1.61 for speed in kph).

Wt.: Weight of tank, in tons (multiply by .9 for metric tons).

Crew. Number of men in crew.

Armament. Number and caliber of main armament, which are tank guns or machineguns (MG). The 75mm gun of all models shown for the Pz IV is a low-velocity gun, effective against unarmored targets but less so against armored targets. The Pz IV was not equipped with a high-velocity 75mm gun, good against tanks, until the mid-war F2 model.

Armor. Maximum front armor, in mm.
