  1. The difference became blurry at the later stages of the war. But the words are supposed to mean following: OKH = Army high Command OKW = High Command of all armed forces

  2. Panzer = tank kampf = combat wagen = wagon Its a bit the same in Swedish for those who play WOT ;) Stridsvagn = kampfwagen = combat wagon I have to say "wagon" is a strange word to call a tank even for me as a Swede, since I normally think of a wagon sitting behind a horse when I hear the word "wagon". I guess one could roughly say that the Germans use the word "wagen" to rougly mean "vehicle".
