The Raketenwerfer 43, affectionately known by German troops as the "Puppchen" ("doll"), was an antitank rocket launcher introduced in 1943 to bolster the average infantryman's anti-armour capability. Built like a miniature artillery piece complete with trail, wheels, and splinter shield, it fired a fin-stabilized, rocket-propelled shaped-charge warhead similar to that used in the RPzB 43 "Panzerschreck." Around 3,000 were produced before it was realized that the weapon was over-engineered and expensive for its role, and production was halted in favour of the cheaper Panzerschreck and Panzerfaust.
