Thanks for sharing!

I watched a documentary on this where is showed young German boys with Panzerfausts (anti-tank weapons); the Soviets were terrified of them, as they’d hide and blast the tanks from the rear. They were uniformed, but of course the uniforms and helmets were far too big. The boys described it as “cracking tanks”...

That terror would not last as the Russians would start mounting improvised slat/grid armor that sometimes defeated the Panzerfausts:
