Anti-tank warfare
Anti-tank warfare arose as a result of the need to develop technology and tactics to destroy tanks during the First World War. Since the first tanks were developed by the allies in 1916 but not principally used till 1917 the first anti-tank weapon was developed by Germany. It was a scaled-up bolt-action rifle designated the Mauser Tank-Gewehr Model 1918 that fired a 13mm cartridge with a solid bullet that could penetrate the thin armor of tanks of the time and destroy the engine or ricochet inside killing occupants. Because tanks represent an enemy's greatest force projection (aside from nuclear artillery and tank vs. tank engagements), anti-tank warfare has been incorporated into the doctrine of nearly every combat service since. The predominant anti-tank weapons at the start of the Second World War were the tank-mounted gun, limbered (towed) anti-tank guns and anti-tank grenades used by the infantry as well as ground-attack aircraft such as the Junkers Ju 87 Stuka.
Anti-tank warfare evolved rapidly, particularly on the Eastern Front, to include new infantry and infantry support weapons such as the bazooka, anti-tank combat engineering, specialized anti-tank aircraft and self-propelled anti-tank guns (tank destroyers). Both the Soviet Red Army and the German Army developed methods of combating tank-led offensives, including deployment of static anti-tank weapons embedded in in-depth defensive positions, protected by anti-tank obstacles and minefields, and supported by mobile anti-tank reserves and ground attack aircraft.

Ain't Enough
by: AerosmithRiding a hurricane, tied to a ball and chain
Too much of a good good thing, it kind of stops you in your tracks
How did you ever get this far, now honey don't look back
And you best beleiving that all that's good is inside of you
Heh, inside of you, yeah
Ride on a carpet ride, high on the tears you cried
One's just too many but a thousands not enough
And you can't make up your mind playing blind mans bluff
And you best beleiving that all that's good is inside of you
Yeah, inside of you
It ain't enough, I take it all but still it ain't enough
Ain't enough, I got to have it now ain't it tough
It ain't enough, you got no misery 'cause it ain't enough
ain't enough, you got to have it cause it ain't enough
Oh sheeeit
You know another touch is easy, try and reach the sky
And though you can't get much more higher than you ever tried
When you die you're not forsaken
Best be taking tries of all the things that you're not taking
Ain't enough, I take it all but still it ain't enough
I got to have it ain't it tough
I got to have it
Ain't enough, I take it all but still it ain't enough
I got to have it
Ain't enough, you got no misery 'cause it ain't enough
Ain't enough, you got to have it cause it ain't enough
I got to have it
Ain't enough, I really got to have it
Ain't enough, I really got to have it
