The song isn't about the wehrmacht during ww2,its about the US invasion of Iraq 2003,the reason why its name was "Panzer battalion" was bcuz US adopted the blitzkrieg tactic during the invasion with success And also one Iraqi soldier ask us marine tanker why they easily beated them,the marine shows a picture of none other than erwin rommel,the rest is history.
Except they didn't adopt Blitzkrieg tactics because there is no such thing. It was never used by the Werhmact before, during or after the war. So there was nothing to adopt. The US did however have a doctrine of combined arms, shock and awe, and complex maneuver. The US Army's ability to get into the decision making process of the Iraqi Army and deploy decisive fires at key targets is what allowed for breakthrough operations in 2003. Also Rommel wasn't even a particularly good commander, hand little to do with German doctrine, and is only famous because he fought westerners who needed the guy they were fighting to become near super human inorder to minimize their pretty obvious short comings. Much like Patton he was a pretty much just a unremarkable General who didn't actually win any spectacular battles and the moment his tactics were countered he failed to adapt. But yeah the song is about the 2003 of invasion of Iraq.

+The M26 Pershing I know they had an 8.8CM cannon, but i am pretty sure the T-34 did not carry enough ammo to send a turret flying to space. But physics just said "To hell with it."
But then the king tiger had many problems meanwhile the M26 pershing had less problems. Firepower and armour be may all for heavy tanks, but mobility and speed matters in the medium tank.
Might be a Tiger P prototype which was developed but canceled in favor of the Tiger. It had a forward mounted turret as in the footage. or as you suggested a german/russian hybred
This looks nothing like a Porsche tiger. This is one of them russian tanks covered up to look like a tiger and probably used in some movie (like saving private ryan for example)
It's a copy of a tiger. A wannabe Tiger not a real one. The model that you gave link to looks 100% better ._. The easiest to spot difference is the wheels. Look at the model, you can see 4 side wheels and even more behind them. On 0:49 you can not see any more wheels behind the 4 spinning wheels... And trust me honey I would know how a real Tiger looks - it's my favorite tank afterall...
Its because gulf war and iraq war were both the first chances since ww2 the americans had to fight a conventional war. In the gulf war shock and awe was tested, iraq destroyed from the air before armour broke their already damaged lines. In the iraq war, the american forces needed to circumvent the long times it took for shock and awe to take effect. In the gulf war, 42 days (1008 hours) were spent bombarding iraq from the sky, with just 4 days (100 hours) on the ground. Combined with the amount of time desert shield took this was far too long, about 4 months. So, the american forces performed a short but massive air raid crippling iraq before storming into iraq with the might of the american armour brigades, full spead agead, reaching baghdad in just 14 days. This was a large factor in combined arms. The distance from kuwait to baghdad is about the same distance as normandy to the rhine river in western germany
Oh god... if the maybach hl 230 didnt have a speed govenor, germans used higher octane fuel, and the transmission could handle it driving at higher speeds well... panther blitzkrieg... nuff said. ( Panthers were much faster than Tigers being lighter )
My gradfather's brother fought on the eastern front from barbarrossa to the surrender of his unit to the americans in Austria near the end of the war. Never met him, but I respect him for fighting against the red horde until the very end.
