The Panzerfaust (Armour/Tank fist)- Only introduced in 1943 the Panzerfaust was inexpensive to produce and simple to operate it gave a single infantryman a weapon that could take out enemy armor. A number of variations of the Panzerfaust were produced, which increased the size of the warhead and increased the range of the weapon, some 6.7 million were produced.The semi-experimental Panzerfaust 150M served as the pattern for the Soviet’s RPG-2.

A Locust deploying- officially the "Light Tank Airborne M22"
Twelve of the tanks were landed using the giant Hamilcar gliders during the Rhine crossing on March 24, 1945. The British airborne crossing of the Rhine river, called Operation Varsity, utilized over 50 large Hamilcar Gliders delivering airborne tanks and other equipment for the 6th Airborne Armored Reconnaissance Regiment, Royal Armored Corps.
Sherman/Cromwell scene from "Band of Brothers"-Actually Panzer Brigade 107 (formed in July 44 from the remnants of the 25th Panzergrenadier Division) didn't have Tigers and Jagdpanthers. They had Panthers and Jagdpanzer IV/70.
B Squadron of the 44th Royal Tank Regiment had just knocked out two Jagdpanzer IVs outside this town of Nuenen at Opwetten prior to this action.
The tank commander in the first tank hit was Lt Benton. Benton survived the hit but Corporal Stothard and Trooper Nichols were killed by the first shell. A second shell blew the turret off.
The 44th Royal Tank Regiment were a very experienced and battle hardened Regiment having seen action in North Africa, Sicily, Italy and all the way through Normandy.
K2 Black Panther-River Crossing
River crossing in the K2 Black Panther.
The K2 can cross rivers as deep as 5 meters using a snorkel system, which also serves as a conning tower for the tank commander. The system takes approximately 30 minutes to prepare. The turret becomes watertight while fording, but the chassis can take in 500 gallons of water to prevent excessive buoyancy from the air inside the vehicle and keep the tracks planted firmly on the ground. Furthermore, the tank can enter combat-ready status as soon as it resurfaces.
Interesting archive footage.

The K2 Black Panther - Can cross rivers as deep as 4.1 meters using a snorkel system, which also serves as a conning tower for the tank commander. The system takes approximately 30 minutes to prepare. The turret becomes watertight while fording, but the chassis can take in 440 liters (116 gallons) of water to prevent excessive buoyancy from air inside the vehicle and keep the tracks planted firmly on the ground. This is a considerable improvement over the K1 and K1A1, as those vehicles were only able to cross rivers up to 2.2 meters deep. Furthermore, the tank can enter combat-ready status as soon as it resurfaces.😀
