Thermite used in AT bullets

While i was reading a book on the fall of sebastopol it crossed me a line where it said about using thermite bullets that would penetrate panzer III armour, the question is not whether it would penetrate it's armour but rather if this was used at all.

The only reference I have to hand is

http://www.russianwarrior.com/STMMain.h ... 254R.htm&1

which deals with the Soviet 7.62x54R Cartridge

thanks for the site, didn't have much information on the bullet but proved it was indeed in use. ;)
