Panzerhund

"Man's best friend? More like "man's worst nightmare", haha!"

- Wilhelm Schultz

Panzerhund are experimental robotic "armoured dogs" who were designed by Dr. Wilhelm Schultz for Black Ice security and as enforcers for their facilities. Despite this, they were not present at the Iron Sky Facility. Not all of Black Ice were aware of their creation, as Schultz didn't want to reveal them yet.

Wilhelm Schultz noted in his journal that the purpose of these Panzerhunde were for dealing with the Strategic Allied Forces spies, as the Panzerhunde were able to detect non-Black Ice personnel, similar to the senses of actual dogs. However, the Mk I models were "faulty", as some were reported to have attacked Black Ice personnel. The Mk II model worked as intended and was the model to have been produced in greater numbers than their Mk I counterparts.

At the time of their decommissioning, Wilhelm Schultz requested for all the Mk I models to be stored in secret facilities rather than destroy them, and in order to keep their secrecy, Dr. Schultz personally hand selected security guards to protect these facilities and erased all evidence of the Mk I models, including some R&D personnel who worked on them.
