A Lt-Colonel and Sergeant First Class inspect at Raketenwerfer 43 / Püppchen and its associated HEAT round.

The Raketenwerfer 43 was essentially a recoilless rifle / rocket launcher firing a 88m HEAT round. It was effective enough but bigger and more complicated than a Panzerschreck which was equally effective.
