The Panzerschreck was a German development of the American bazooka, firstencountered in North Africa, firing a large calibre shaped-charge rocketprojectile. The back-blast from the weapon was so intense that early teams woreprotective capes and masks – later a blast shield was fitted to the weapongiving it a distinctive appearance. The Panzerschreck and disposable anti-tankPanzerfaust had replaced the Panzerbüchse 39 anti-tank rifle by 1944.

During the battle of Stalingrad, Russian snipers took such a heavy toll uponthe beleaguered Wehrmacht that the Germans began to train and equip their ownmarksmen to undertake a specialist role as snipers. A variety of rifles wereused for sniping, including the standard KAR-98K and the semi-automatic Gewehr43, all fitted with the high quality ZF39 telescopic sight, and equipped withprecision-manufactured ammunition.

Flamethrowers – Flammenwerfer – were used through the war and wereoften employed against buildings or fortifications. During the latter part ofthe war, the Germans produced a lighter, smaller design that carried enough fuelfor a single burst – effectively a one-shot flamethrower –theEintossflammen­werfe. It is not known, however, whether this weapon wasactually ever employed.
