	I hadn't heard of them using soap, but I did read about
	them using empty gas cylinders from welding torches,
	which acted upon the tanks much as a handfull of marbles
	will act on a standing man.

	One group of Hungarians also managed to drop a high voltage
	power line on a tank, electrocuting the occupants.

	But mainly they would have one brave soul run up to the
	tank and insert a crowbar into the tread, immobilizing 
	it.  Then the Molotov cocktail teams would close in
	and sent the tank to inferno.
