The Panzerfaust 3 (lit. ' armor fist ' or 'tank fist') is a modern semi-disposable recoilless anti-tank weapon, which was developed between 1978 and 1985 and first entered service with the Bundeswehr in 1987 (although they did not officially adopt it until 1992).
Panzerschreck (lit. "tank's dread" or "tank's bane") was the popular name for the Raketenpanzerbüchse 54 ("Rocket Anti-armor Rifle Model 54", abbreviated to RPzB 54), an 88 mm reusable anti-tank rocket launcher developed by Nazi Germany in World War II.

[37] At other times along the western front particularly, Volkssturm troops would cast their arms aside and disappear into the chaos. [8]
