The Terror Of The Panzerfaust: How Germany’s Deadly Anti-Tank Weapon Smashed Allied Tanks

To Allied tank crews during World War II, the Panzerfaust was one of the German army’s deadliest weapons.
Only introduced in 1943, the Panzerfaust was very much a sign of the state of the war effort, which had turned against Nazi Germany and its once seemingly unstoppable military faced assaults on all fronts. Inexpensive to produce and simple to operate, the Panzerfaust gave a single infantryman a weapon that could take out enemy armor.
Allied tank crews on the western front during the 1944 campaign found the Panzerfaust to be one of the German-army's most lethal weapons.
Stuart Hills, a British tank commander detailed his firsthand encounter with the Panzerfaust in his book "By Tank Into Normandy."
He gained a close-up perspective of its effectiveness while engaged in combat in northern Belgium in the lead-up to Operation Market Garden.
