He had no rifle when he struck the tank. He held that axe because he was unable to reach his rifle from his current cover. He found the wood chopping axe not far behind him, and it was the only weapon he had. He was only able to reach his rifle after taking out the machine gun, and when they were about to get out. He left it by the potato stock, and DID NOT have it in the beginning.

Update: after watching you got 99 percent of it correct. There were 3 to 4 tanks not two.

One thing a lot of people don't realize about tanks is just how vulnerable they can be to infantry. Heavy armor is essentially a mobile defensive fortification; like any fortification it needs to be properly supported or else it will be outflanked and overrun. Even in the modern day -- over in Ukraine -- we're seeing just how effectively infantry with Javelin missiles can deal with Russian MBTs. Although, I'm not sure there's a lot you can do in the field to improve your chances against a Javelin....
