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] It was composed by Oberleutnant Kurt Wiehle in 1933.
