... a brilliant weapon at very close range. At that range it opened a larger wound -with ghastly internal spalling than the Panzerschreck and anti-tank guns - albeit they all provided some stand-off.
I never appreciated just how good they were until I read The Chosen War (Finland 1941 - 44). Stalin launched a massive strike against the Mannheim Line in June '44 and it was utterly shattered as a 'line' but the Finns received bountiful and prompt receipt of Panzerfausts - delivered by E-boats across the Baltic - and being the great fighters they are, with the panzerfausts, in close, they stopped the Soviet advance - for weeks.
