China and Korea would both strap bombs to people and have them run up to a tank, lay down between the treads and then blow up when the tank rolled over them which exploited the weak underside armor of the tank. I guess you can't really complain to OSHA if your job involves blowing up.

Yeah there's no ripcord. quote:When the legs of the mine hit the objective, the handle was pulled forward, cutting a pin and making the detonator move forward to the detonator charge. This would set off the mine, blowing up its user and, probably, the targeted enemy armour.

Tank Archives (run by our very own Ensign Expendable!) had a story about a Soviet soldier stopping a German light tank with stuff like mud and branches. He clogged the engine vents so it would start overheating and jammed branches into the gun ports to prevent them from traversing. Eventually the crew compartment started filling with smoke from the clogged exhaust so they had to bail out.

The initial plan was for them to run up and leave the bomb and run away, but that didn't work so they switched to doggy suicide bombers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-tank_dog

PostNouveau posted:The Soviets used to train dogs to do this. Just spend a few weeks teaching them to run up and lay under a tank for treats, and then get them out on the battlefield with a bomb strapped to them. quote:The first group of anti-tank dogs arrived at the frontline at the end of the summer of 1941 and included 30 dogs and 40 trainers. Their deployment revealed some serious problems. In order to save fuel and ammunition, dogs had been trained on tanks which stood still and did not fire their guns. In the field, the dogs refused to dive under moving tanks. Some persistent dogs ran near the tanks, waiting for them to stop but were shot in the process. Gunfire from the tanks scared away many of the dogs. They would run back to the trenches and often detonated the charge upon jumping in, killing Soviet soldiers. To prevent that, the returning dogs had to be shot, often by their controllers and this made the trainers unwilling to work with new dogs. Some went so far as to say that the army did not stop with sacrificing people to the war and went on to slaughter dogs too; those who openly criticized the program were persecuted by "special departments" (military counterintelligence).[3] Out of the first group of 30 dogs, only four managed to detonate their bombs near the German tanks, inflicting an unknown amount of damage. Six exploded upon returning to the Soviet trenches, killing and injuring soldiers.[3] Three dogs were shot by German troops and taken away, despite furious attempts by the Soviets to prevent this, which provided examples of the detonation mechanism to the Germans. A captured German officer later reported that they learned of the anti-tank dog design from the killed animals, and considered the program desperate and inefficient. A German propaganda campaign sought to discredit the Red Army, saying that Soviet soldiers refuse to fight and send dogs instead.[3]

wilderthanmild posted:I think they tried some wonderwaffe poo poo with remote control bomb tank things. I think the remote anti-tank... tanks saw more use in testing by the Allies after the war than any other time. Lashing ten grenade bodies to one whole grenade, the magnetic hollow-charge anti-tank grenades, the Panzerfaust, a bunch of explosives in a bag, all perfectly good weapons to "stop" a tank at close range. The thing is, no one wants to get that close willingly, with no training and no plan. All that poo poo actually worked, but was only really effective for "oh poo poo" moments and prepared ambushes. Think about the early Panzerfaust 60, 60 as in 60 meters range. Halve that for a "true" effective range. 30 meters from you to the tank and everyone is going to see the smoke from launching the rocket. Hope you've got an exit strategy. Strangley, untrained people tend to run away from the 40 ton vehicle spewing fire and death at first opportunity. They're the smart ones. Infantry anti-tank work is suuuuper OSHA.

Okay, I found the old post about that guy.quote:Sometimes, you have to make do with what you have, even when fighting tanks. And sometimes, all you have are ordinary tools. In that case, what you do might show up in a newspaper, and then, with the help of artists from "Combat Pencil", a magazine.

This is my favourite anti-tank weapon: I got to sit on one of these at the military museum in Ottawa, and it's not quite as crazy as it looks. It wasn't intended to be fired while moving, the French military wanted an extremely light mobile artillery platform for paratroopers to use, so these would go down with a two man crew. They'd pop out the bipod, take a couple pot shots, then hop back on and move someplace else before the enemy could respond.

The russians should have used anti-tank kittens. The nazzies would have gotten out of their tanks to pet the kittens and would have been taken out by enemy fire.
