WW2 Tanks.... A question....

[Gawdzilla Sama]

If you're holding a position and the tanks are coming at you the choices are limited.  It isn't like the movies where the panzergrenadiers just stand there and get mowed down for the cameras.

Later even US infantrymen learned to hanker down, use indirect fire to separate the tanks’ covering infantry from the leading rank of tanks, let the tanks roll over the defending infantry positions, then have the defending infantry pop up and hit the tanks from the side and the rear.

"hunker". Hanker is what you do when you see Ms. Gadot.

That's true, most of the engagements that AT infantry would have had were deep insertion, the principle remaining the same.  Ingress, concealment, and in situ ambush in support of the forward elements to the rear.  Our tanks actually did very little of the anti tank work.

(less than 20%?  somebody who knows the numbers or an exact source can correct, lol)

You won't get an exact count because a bazooka team, an AT gun and a TD will all claim a tank that just blew up.
