"It seemed like the Germans were handing out panzerfausts like Crackerjack prizes, there were so many of them being toted around. Good thing for us that the grenadier had to pretty much stand up and expose himself to aim and fire the darn thing at us, and that was sure to draw heavy fire on him. It took a lot of nerve to do that."

"They told us the panzerfaust could go through 200 mm of armor, but we didn't believe it.  Especially not the sloped armor in the front of a tank. We knew our best chance was at the side or right up the backside, but that meant waiting until the tank was well past your position, and by that time the enemy screening infantry was all around you."
Gefreiter Ernst Bauer, Grenadier Regiment 959
