Panzerfaust
man-portable anti-tank weapon
A disposable, recoilless hollow-charge launcher, the Panzerfaust gave even inexperienced Volkssturm militia the ability to kill an Allied tank at close range. More than eight million were built across several models, making it one of the most numerous anti-tank weapons of the war.
