Adhesive Hollow Charge Tank Killer
Posted: Sun Jun 08, 2014 5:48 pm
Introducing the "Hafthohlladung", A Magnetic Hollow Charge anti-Tank
weapon used by the Germans mainly between 1942 -'44. It was used by "Panzerknacker" teams and was very effective against Armor-(If one was brave, lucky and successful enough to pull it off)! The Germans feared that the allies would be making similar magnetic AT devices and that's why they applied their "Zimmerit" anti-magnetic paste to their AFV's, but the allies never did.
Declared obsolete by may of 1944, many were still used up to the end of the war. They weighed about 3-3.5 KG.,were replaced by the Panzerfaust and Ofenrohr eventually. Approx. 554,000 were produced.
I am including an Army and SS version. Give them the same parameters
as the Satchel Charge with the exception that they can't be used in man to man MELEE combat.
Have Fun!
