..the only troops i can find with a specific infantry-hand-held A/T weapon are the Poles, nobody else seems to have heard of them, please tell me i'm wrong...

..tell me about armour-piercing bullets in common use, anything,.. failing that, can anyone suggest the A/T potential of large artillery on 1940 tank-life, nothing i've ever seen leads me believe that those thin-skinned tin-cans could stand an artillery barrage..,

..i was meaning by squad..the British Btn had 22 A/T rifles for 700+ rifles, the Germans produced a grand total of 749 till May 1940...,

..i'm wondering about the squad A/T ability, if they didn't have any then it could be said that not a single 1940 scen is correct..,

There's an excellent site on anti-tank rifles at:

The Germans had something like 500 AT Rifles on strength at the time of the invasion of Poland.
At the time of Barbarossa, they had over 25 000
PzB 39's.

I don't know what the squad distribution would have been.
