On paper, the Panzerfaust is a terrifying weapon. It could penetrate up to 200 mm of armour, enough to knock out any Allied tank, and could be hidden in every basement, in every window, and around every corner. How effective was this weapon really, and what did Allied tankers do to protect themselves from it? I answer this question in my article on Warspot.net.
I think the panzerfaust was still very valuable. Give an infantryman a way to theoretically kill an enemy tank himself from a distance and he will be much more likly to stand his ground instead of running away.
