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

T-34-85 with grid-frame protections (aka the T34-85E 'Ekrani', 'with screens'), Berlin, Brandenburg gate, May 1945

The Germans started running out of young teens as well; a lot of them were killed in the battle.

Amazing how they improvised that screen; I’ve seen similar ones on light armored vehicles today (I believe to detonate RPGs before they hit the hull itself). In the movie “Fury”, the US tanks had logs on the sides. In real life, I believe some would mount the extra tread sections kept for repairs around the turret/on the sides.
