A World War II vehicle with the German word for kitten in its name, was a smaller version of the German tank known by American soldiers as what?
Gepanzerter Mannschaftstransportwagen 'Kätzchen' The Gepanzerter Mannschaftstransportwagen Kätzchen ("Gep. MTW Kätzchen") (German for kitten) was a German armoured personnel carrier of late World War II. Auto-Union delivered two prototypes during 1944-45. The hull's shape was similar to the hull of the "Panzerkampfwagen" Tiger II, but much smaller. The vehicle had front wheel drive with five or six overlapping steel road wheels, possibly resembling the never-built E-25 "replacement tank"'s suspension system in appearance. Power was provided by a Maybach HL50 engine.
M47 Patton The M47 Patton was a development of the M46 Patton tank mounting an updated turret, and was in turn further developed as the M48 Patton. It was the second American tank to be named after General George S. Patton, commander of the U.S. Third Army during World War II and one of the earliest American advocates of tanks in battle.
