Panzer II has almost no armor. 9 tons is ridiculously small. The M113 APC has thicker armor than a Panzer II. If we take the phrase: > Most definitions of tanks rely on a heavily armored, tracked platform and a fully rotatable turret with armament capable of killing other similarly armored and armed vehicles. Then M113 APC "is a tank". (Big enough gun to kill other M113 APCs, armored and tracked, rotatable turret) ------- My overall point is that "WW2 terminology sucks", especially when describing modern vehicles.
