This video analyzes the Panzerbüchse 39 (PzB 39), a single-shot, falling block anti-tank rifle used by Germany at the start of World War II. The description highlights its nominal effectiveness in early campaigns but notes its obsolescence as Allied armor improved. It mentions other contemporary anti-tank rifles like the Solothurn S18-100, Lahti L39, Boys AT Rifle, PTRD, and PTRS. The video details that Germany had a large number of PzB 39s for the invasion of Russia, where they proved ineffective against Soviet armor. Many were later converted into Granatbüchse 39 (GrB 39) grenade launchers, which saw continued use.
