Der Panzerbär (English: The Armored Bear) was a propaganda newspaper published intermittently in Berlin, Germany during the last days of World War II. It made increasingly fantastical claims of victory as the Red Army 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.
