However, these vivid images have largely overshadowed the real history of the Great Patriotic War. Looking at the blazing movie models of tanks, it is impossible to imagine how much labor and blood it cost to hit at least one tank. Not even to destroy, but just to tear the caterpillar, delaying the enemy for a few precious hours. In the real battle between tank and infantry victory in the vast majority of cases was on the side of the armored vehicle ... A new book by a famous military historian, based on archival documents, for the first time in all the details tells about the combat use of anti-tank weapons infantry Red Army - PTR, grenades, grenade launchers, as well as their counterparts in the Wehrmacht and other armies of World War II (rocket launcher, Faustpatron, Panzershrek, bazooka, etc.).
