    Is there some hilarious reverse size joke in German, where the “smaller” tanks are Panther and Tiger, and the huge one is Mouse?

      At least I always understood it that way

      Not sure, if this is a German thing, but also here in Austria we call the heavy machines often with cute names for little things.
      Thought, that’s not a regional thing though
