Ahoi. I do not think a Panzerkeil is an "armoured wedge", since it refers to der Panzer (the tank), not to Panzerung (armour). So it should more likely translate to "wegde of tanks". Regards.--Thuringius (talk) 11:43, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"wedge"?

The diagram given looks more like a reverse wedge or something, unless the way it's drawn is totally different in scale from the way the actual units are deployed on the field. A "wedge" usually suggests a spearpoint, followed by wider (and perhaps weaker) units as the wedge is driven into the lines. As drawn, the heavy armor front is followed by progressively narrower formations. Is this just indicative of relative combat power, not physical unit deployment?
