    Maybe this topic heading should be changed to "Man Portable Anti-Tank Weapon?" An 88 is portable.

    Not really. Portable means "capable of being carried". Not even a team of Arnies could carry an 88 mm. The correct term for such guns is "mobile".

    i believe the germans had a very powerful hand grenade. i think it was a regular grenade with explosive tied around it. i remember right it was powerful enough to knock out a tank
