Čaj Pancir II je laki tenk razvijen od strane nacističke Nemačke u 1930-ih. Trebalo je da bude privremeni dizajn dok se ne proizvedu napredniji tenkovi, ali je ostao u službi tokom Drugog svetskog rata. Panzer II je bio naoružan sa 20 mm autotop i 7.92 mm mitraljez, i imao posadu od tri. Imao je maksimalnu brzinu od 40 km / h i domet od 200 km.
Panzer II je učestvovao u invazijama na Poljsku, Francusku, Sovjetski Savez i Severnu Afriku, kao i u drugim bitkama i kampanjama. Postepeno je zamenjen moćnijim Tenkovi kao što su Panzer III i IV, ali neke varijante su nastavile da se koriste za izviđanje, artiljerijsko posmatranje i protivavionske uloge do kraja rata.
