Refers to the PIAT used by the Regina Rifles in Bretteville. They took out several German tanks with them.

A German Panther tank turned upside down by the force of an explosion near Bretteville, south-west of Caen, sometime in 1944.

Some wag has added a 'Remove before starting engine' sign to the wreck.

France: Let's build 43 straw timber houses. Because it’s the best option. 🧠
The math: instead of emitting 490 tonnes of CO2 with concrete construction, we simply sequester 315 tonnes of CO2.
