Der Panzerbär (English: The Armored Bear) was a German propaganda paper published intermittently in Berlin during the last days of World War II. It made increasingly fantastical claims of victory as the Soviets advanced and claimed secret super-weapons would snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Only seven issues were made, between 23 and 29 April 1945.
