German Panzergrenadier-Panzerschrek

The Panzerschreck was a German shoulder-fired anti-tank rocket launcher developed after examination of American bazookas. It fired a larger shaped-charge projectile and usually required a two-man team. Panzergrenadiers used such weapons to strengthen local anti-tank defense, but the launcher’s blast, smoke, and limited practical range made firing position and concealment particularly important. The Panzerschreck differed from the Panzerfaust, a simpler disposable anti-tank weapon. Its reusable tube and rocket ammunition required a different supply and handling system. The blast shield fitted to many examples became a distinctive visual feature, but neither system allowed infantry to ignore the danger of approaching enemy armor at close range.
