Whether is used when doubt is implied. I see no doubt here, so I would say that that is the correct choice.

In my opinion the test item is faulty.
I think the people who constructed this item were probably thinking like this:
I know that those tanks were not German tanks.
I don't know [if / whether] those tanks were German tanks.
In other words, the tendency is to use that after know and if or whether after don't know.
