Yes, tanks can 'overrun' infantry. Just move your tank into the same hex as enemy infantry and then attack using main gun and MGs, and you will cause more casualties than if the tank was standing off 50m.

But as John said, a tank with only tracks as a weapon is not a threat to infantry. Or the game would have to say any vehicle could be used as weapon.

Of course it can be more dangerous for the tank to move among infantry, because infantry in the same hex as a tank have a better chance of destroying the tank, but this is how it was IRL.

Tank Panic
This game also has a cool 'tank panic' feature:

Poor morale and/or poor training level infantry, especially those which have no viable or ineffective AT weapons may retreat in 'tank panic' either when attempting to close assault a passing AFV, or when such arrives in the next or same hex. Bigger, heavier armoured AFV tend to cause more consternation that tin-plated open top recce vehicles. Japanese are not greatly subject to tank panic.

Melee Combat

When infantry fight in the same hex, melee combat may occur, and some troops such as commandos and paratroops are better at this form of close combat. Sometimes in close quarters combat, troops especially if low morale or experience may be panicked and hence produce less accurate fire than would normally be the case.
