Before the Panzerfaust: German Infantry vs. Tanks

The Panzerfaust is a very iconic weapon of the Wehrmacht, but what did the German Infantry use before the introduction of the Faustpatrone / Panzerfaust? In this video Dr. Jens Wehner talks about the Hafthohlladung (sticky hollow charge), anti-tank mines and other measures on how German infantry fought against tanks. For this we look at some objects from Military History Museum of the Bundeswehr in Dresden permanent exhibition.
