About sixty Soviet tanks were reportedly destroyed by the Charlemagne battalion during the fighting in Berlin, all of them destroyed by panzerfaust.

This was most likely not a factory-fitted solution but was welded on in field workshops, given that, in urban environments, the ‘witch’s sucker’ could ambush a tank from any angle or through a shattered roof! Perhaps if the war had lasted longer, a factory-fitted version of the grilles would have appeared – just as they now weld grilles directly onto the tank turret at the factory to protect against drones!

A tank in urban combat without infantry support is an easy target, as proven by the battles for the city of Grozny in Chechnya! At that time, mobile groups of Chechen separatists used grenade launchers to destroy a great deal of Russian armoured vehicles

Tank crews in many countries resorted to such modifications; it probably served as a psychological comfort. For example, General Patton forbade his tank crews from weighing down their Shermans with sandbags and camouflaging them, but the higher-ups were far away, and it was the ordinary tank crewman who would end up in the line of fire. So they resorted to improvisation and self-consolation!

I haven't made artillery pieces for a long time. Today I get this ready: Soviet 305mm M1915 super heavy howitzer. Some of them used in the battles of Koningsberg in 1945.

Yugoslavian M.28 tank. The Royal Yugoslavian army ordered 11 Renault-Kégresse tanks and named them as M.28. These are improved FT-17 tanks with a brand new Renault-Kégresse suspension and new robber tracks.
