This video details the development and features of the German Panzerschreck antitank weapon, a direct response to the American Bazooka encountered in 1943. It highlights the Panzerschreck's lineage from the Raketenwerfer 43 "Puppchen," its use of an 88mm shaped charge warhead, and its innovative electrical firing system generated by a small dynamo. The description also addresses a key design flaw: the rocket motor's continued firing outside the tube, leading to burns and the subsequent development of protective shields for the shooter.
