Panzerknacker - Grenadiere im Nahkampf gegen Kolosse aus Stahl - Buch
This documentation closes a gap in the military literature.
In the course of the Second World War, soldiers often had to compete against enemy tanks alone. In this unequal duel, the ordinary soldier had only melee weapons available, such as hollow charges, mines, and concentrated loads. Panzerfaust and Panzerschreck were added later. The men who killed one or more steel giants in close combat were awarded the tank destruction badge. A battle award that was highly regarded because it visibly honored a brave soldier. In this documentation you will find authentic operational reports about these men, which are based on original battle reports. Soldiers from Germany, Austria, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Latvia, Estonia, Italy, Hungary, Spaniards and Georgia, from the Army, Waffen-SS, Air Force and Navy are presented.
Written excitingly, read about tank crackers of various units and nationalities: the railway pioneer, the 50-year-old Georgian with one eye in the Spanish division or the Bavarian lieutenant who knocked out 13 tanks. You will meet an Italian sailor of the famous X. Flotilla MAS, Volkssturmmänner, and a 16-year-old Latvian air force helper. You read about a war report from the parachute troop, the lieutenant captain of a submarine, the youngest officer of the SS paratrooper battalion, a 19-year-old who shot down seven tanks, the German from Romania who killed four tanks, the Hungarian junior officer and the pioneer, the nine tanks cracked. The tank destruction badges of both levels and the numerous different property certificates, documents, sold book entries etc. are presented in detail.
The close combat tactics are explained, as well as the melee used, up to the most modern Panzerfaus of the present. The reader receives an excellently researched book that describes carefully selected combat reports on close-range combat.
The numerous unpublished photos, documents, documents and entries in the sold book about tank destruction badges make the book a must for document and order collectors. This created a literary monument to selfless bravery, which is also supposed to be a memorial to a man-eating war.
