In this encyclopedia by a leading armament historian, the reader will find comprehensive information not only about serial and experimental grenades, anti-tank guns, mines, flamethrowers, and traps, but also about the development of infantry anti-tank tactics during combat operations and the birth of a new front-line specialty - "tank fighter". Although the main enemy of tanks on the battlefields of 1939-1945 was considered to be the enemy's artillery, aviation and armored vehicles, no anti-tank defense could be stable without reliable infantry cover. And the "queen of the fields" vitally needed its own anti-tank means of close combat. And if at first the bet was made on anti-tank guns, mines, bundles of hand grenades and bottles with incendiary mixture, then already in the middle of the Second World War "sticky" and "magnetic" shaped grenades, hand and machine grenade launchers (from bazookas to panzershreks and legendary Faustpatrons) were actively used, and by the end of the war the first prototypes of controlled anti-tank weapons appeared. The publication is illustrated with unique drawings and photographs.
