  1. 33:45 well I highly doubt a hand grenade would destroy a Tiger Tank even it it blew up from underneath. Maybe, if he had a land mine or something. That story sounds very fishy, and is likely News Paper Propaganda Fodder. They likely selected a random boy who died and fabricated a heroic story around him to hopefully motivate men to fight harder.

  2.  @konstantinkelekhsaev302  I'm glad someone clarified. If TIK just said Anti Tank Grenade, it would of made it not sound so implausible. There was another far out story I heard about a M8 Grayhound knocking out a Tiger B in three shots with it's 37mm gun. Which is theoretically implausible even when I looked up charts with the best possible armor piercing ammunition available, theoretically, it's possible, but implausible, as it would require absolute ideal conditions which based on the scenario that was not the case, as no 90 degree angles were exposed, even if they hit it dead on it would of been a hit or miss chance to penetrate even the weakest armor on a Tiger B. Though that scenario I believe happened, just it was more likely a Panther, than a Tiger, misidentifying vehicles was common among the US Army during after army reports. Even calling Panzer IVs Panther IVs, and Tiger phobia often caused US GIs to grossly exaggerate the number of Tigers that were in the field. As they would often refer to all German tanks as Tigers. Reason why I think that it was, is knocking out a Panther from the rear in 3 shots with a 37mm gun is very plausible and the tanks look similar enough that a misidentified makes more sense than a Grayhound successfully knocking out a Tiger B.
