A nice 7 minute video of a market garden action
Good details too.

I all said the PIAT was a great tank killer, best handheld anti tank weapon of WW2

Really interesting. Shows the importance of combining infantry and armour. Especially at night.

And, in this case, bringing a lot of foot AT. Reporting that the first Tiger was destroyed by a volley of SIX Piat bombs!

Question, how long did it take to reload / reset the Piat? I know the the design was set so the spring would reset automatically. But have read this often didn't happen in the field.
