In this video Jens Wehner from the Military History Museum Dresden of the Bundeswehr and I talk about the 8.8 cm Raketenwerfer 43 Puppchen/Püppchen. Besides covering the basics like range, introduction, production data and comparsion to similar weapons like the Panzerschreck and Panzerfaust we also ask the question why it was designed like a gun, although it was rocket launcher.
