The "Panzerlied" ('Tank Song') is a Wehrmacht march of the Nazi era, sung primarily by the Panzerwaffe—the tank force of Nazi Germany during World War II.It is one of the best-known songs of the Wehrmacht and was popularised by the 1965 film Battle of the Bulge. [1]
The song's title was also used as the codename for the German offensive in 1944 known today as the Battle of the Bulge.

The battle was militarily defined by the Allies as the Ardennes Counteroffensive, which included the German drive and the American effort to contain and later defeat it. The phrase 'Battle of the Bulge' was coined by contemporary press to describe the way the Allied front line bulged inward on wartime news maps. [43] [44]
