Panzerschreck Team

Bring late-war German anti-tank infantry to your collection with this detailed Panzerschreck Team from Blueprint to Print 3D. Depicting a dedicated Wehrmacht team equipped with the formidable shoulder-fired rocket launcher, this set adds an unmistakable specialist element to World War II scenes. The product carries the SPECIAL WEAPONS badge because it represents a purpose-trained anti-tank team operating the Panzerschreck rather than standard rifle-armed infantry.

Historical Role

Introduced during the later stages of World War II, the Panzerschreck gave German infantry a portable means of engaging tanks and other armoured vehicles at short range. Officially designated the Raketenpanzerbüchse, it fired a rocket-propelled, shaped-charge projectile. Teams typically relied on concealment, prepared firing positions and close cooperation, as the launcher’s backblast and limited effective range made careful positioning essential. Panzerschreck teams were especially suited to defensive fighting in villages, woodland and broken terrain.

Distinctive Appearance

The team is defined by the Panzerschreck’s long, tubular launcher and the specialised equipment needed to operate it. Its prominent protective shield, firing aperture and bulky rocket ammunition create a distinctive silhouette compared with ordinary Wehrmacht infantry. The combination of crew figures and anti-tank weapon makes the set immediately recognisable in a late-war German formation or defensive position.

Modelling Uses

Ideal for ruined-town ambushes, roadside positions, woodland defences and last-ditch anti-armour scenes, this team can become a focused narrative feature in World War II dioramas. It is equally suitable for model railways with wartime military settings, tabletop wargaming displays and collectors building scale-specific German infantry formations.

Fun Fact

The name “Panzerschreck” translates approximately as “tank fright” or “tank terror.” German troops also nicknamed the weapon “Ofenrohr,” meaning “stovepipe,” because of its long tubular form.
