Not the seven T-34s my father told me he personally destroyed, the only time he ever spoke about his time on the Russian front. Destroyed by one GERMAN foot soldier in one day.

What did he use to destroy them?

It could have been a panzershreck, but more likely a panzerfaust.

I read a very good book by a French soldier who was in the Waffen SS. He faught in the East and saw heavy combat. I recall him mentioning just how effective the panzerfaust was.

He didn't say. I was 9 or 10 years old and I was in awe of him just having the grit to face a tank much more seven of them. He never spoke of his battles again but I've seen the wounds on his body to know he was in the fight.
