The '''''Raketenpanzerbüchse''''' (RPzB), better known by the nickname "'''Panzerschreck'''," was a German anti-tank launcher developed during the Second World War, based on captured American [[M1 Bazooka]] launchers which had been provided to Russia via lend-lease. Using a larger and more powerful 88mm rocket, it proved to be one of the most potent infantry anti-tank weapons of the war. The initial production version was the RPzB 43, which lacked a blast shield; troops in the field found it necessary to wear a gas mask to protect themselves from the rocket's exhaust. This was later corrected on the RPzB 54, which featured a metal blast shield and improved iron sights.
