That last one (Stielgranate ‘41) would be particularly relevant for the battle of Moscow, or more accurately its aftermath. It was designed for the 3.7cm Pak36 and rushed as a stop gap measure to stave off the Soviet armour. It gets a significant mention in Jason D. Marks’ Siege of Cholm book, which took place from Nov '41 to May '42, when the Soviet winter counter offensive created pockets of German resistance all across the Eastern front. It was parachuted into the pocket directly from the factory and proved very effective against both the T-34 and KV-1s.

I think Japan and Russia, really need those AT rifle grenades. It would be interesting also to see how the japanese ones are loaded/reloaded.
