These engineer-infantry-AAA troops had no specialized training and were not the builders of the elaborate antitank obstacles. They had no large antitank arty. Instead, they relied on panzerfausts and mines. He seemed to be more familiar with their use in the last days on the Western front, rather than in Russia.
