Character Bio

Panzer is a loanword from the German Panzer, meaning ‘armour’, pronounced [pantser]. It is also used in the compounds Panzerdivision, ‘armoured unit’ and dated PanzerKampfwagen, ‘tank’ or literally ‘armoured combat vehicle’ (the modern synonym is Kampfpanzer, or just Panzer). German Panzer also refers to an animal's protective shell or thick hide. Historically, the word referred to body armour, as in Plattenpanzer, ‘plate mail’, Kettenpanzer, ‘chain mail’, or gepanzert, ‘armoured’. The word has been calqued in many other languages, such as Swedish pansarvagn or Finnish panssarivaunu, ‘tracked armoured fighting vehicle’, Danish panservogn, ‘armored vehicle’, but kampvogn means ‘tank’.
