A soldier with a Panzerfaust from the Panzer Division Hermann Göring smiling to the camera, Russia, 1944. The Panzerfaust was a non-recoil anti-tank/vehicle weapon produced in Nazi Germany during World War Two. It shot a single warhead at the enemy before having to be re-loaded, just like most rocket launchers and rocket propelled grenades, but what made the Panzerfaust so essential to the German army was the fact that it was so inexpensive. Produced from 1943-1945, the Panzerfaust was being made when Germany was on the losing side of the war, and thus being so inexpensive made it highly valuable to the German Forces. Furthermore, with the increased conscription of less trained men and eventually children, the Panzerfaust became the main weapon for units like the Volkssturm and Hitler Youth. By 1945, small bands of children and adults would move like guerrilla forces and attack allied tank columns with the element of surprise. They would usually target the lead tank, halting the entire column, and if there were more Germans, then attack the rest while they couldn’t move. In most cases though, the Germans only took out 1-3 Shermans.
