GERMAN ANTI-TANK TACTICS[]
Germany adapted to the Allied tanks with a variety of different tactics and tools. Anti-tank groups were formed around energetic leaders. These groups would use tools like anti-tank guns, anti-tank rifles and trench mortars. The Germans also built smaller forts that were organized for anti-tank defense equipped with searchlights and field-guns. These were placed a kilometer behind the main lines to meet the tanks there in case of an armored breakthrough.
SPECIAL ANTI-TANK UNITS WERE FORMED TO MEET THE THREAT OF THE TANKS[]
They also developed an abundance of different barriers like steel posts, concrete blocks, covered pits filled with water, ditches with anti-tank mines or rails driven vertically into the ground. Anything to stop or slow down the progress of the tanks.
