Soviet Anti-Tank Rifle Tactics of WW2
Soviet Anti-Tank Rifle Tactics of World War 2 based on a translated Soviet Manual from 1942. Soviet Anti-Tank rifles like the PTRD 41 and PTRS 41 created some trouble for the German Panzers, this is clearly reflected by the introduction of the so-called “Schürzen” Armor Skirts that protected the side hull and turret armor of most Panzers and Sturmgeschütze. This video covers anti-tank rifle positions, how to lead, weak points to aim for, cooperation with other arms and the general employment of anti-tank rifle units.
