Did he have an APDS round?

Adam,
I was surprised to see that the Germans were using captured Matildas in Hungary 1945!
I suppose these would be what Britain supplied to Russia early in the war.

The Matildas must have been captured from the Russians - use what you can get and be glad of it might be the way of it.

No secret das Reich made extensive use of captured T-34's even to the extent of having a small indusatrial unit working to repair battle damaged examples.
