Panzerschreck - In The Movies 

Again, Fullmetal Alchemist. I can't help but smile anytime you use scenes from it. I mean, it's a fantasy anime with real life weapons. I love it.

the Panzerschreck was made better than the bazooka for two reasons, the shreck didn't require batteries, instead used a spring loaded electromagnetic system to fire and secondly the bazooka barrel was the same diameter as the rocket only a bit bigger, the schreck however had the barrel with three ribs going down the length of the barrel allowing for less friction on the rocket, and the ability to fire with a dirtier barrel or even minor damage say like a bullet or fragment hole as long as it wasnt on the rin

Fun Fact: Hungary made their own copy of the Panzerschreck called Páncélrém (Tank Fear). It was much simplified with a caliber of 60mm and resembled more of the M1 Bazooka.

Another note: Since the rocket blast from the Panzershrek rocket can stain the viewing mica glass with its jettisoned smoke particles, the shield also had a special compartment that stored multiple mica glass visors for replacement

That Kuromorimine advancing montage cracked me up, I admit.

The users of the Panzerschreck were instructed to never fire the weapon while laying, since the backblast would scorch your feet if you aren´t carefull.

There is a recent video of Ukrainians using an NLAW against Russian armor at near suicidal range. It didn't look much farther than 100 meters. The newer shoulder fired anti-tank weapons are designed to fly just above the tank, and then shoot an injector down through the thin top armor. They seem to be effective in this latest conflict, but, as you point out, the crews are vulnerable to counter-fire.

Nice work Johnny! You even mentioned the Panzerknacker, even I forgot about those. I like how you described the construction flaw & eventual material scarcity leading to paper like material. i can't nit-pick this one, well done!

Well, thanks for featuring "The Red Beret" - a film I would have thought my father would have taken me to see back in the 50s but never did. I'll have to look it up now. :)

"FIYAH DA PANZASHREK!!" - Viktor Reznov.

It was definitely dangerous, but it beat the alternative tactics for relative safety and effectiveness. They tried axes, grenades, magnetic mines, and the Russians famously tried anti tank dogs with tragic results. Just about everything else required the foot soldier to get much closer to the tank and the closer you have to get the less likely you are to succeed and survive the encounter.

The shield was added because of the fact that the rocket didn't extinguish in the tube. The shields were at first made by the soldiers then later on they were made with a shield already built on

Awesome! Alan Ladd and Anton Diffring participated in "The Red Beret" (1953) Anton Diffring often played the German officer with gusto.

As Matt Damon's Private Ryan said, "PANZERSCHRECK!!!"

oh, sad "Dimitri! fire the Panzerschreck!" noises.

Now all we need is the Bazooka, and we’ll round out the handheld AT rocket weapons of ww2

Thanks for including Jo Jo Rabbit clips, the "paper like" line makes me laugh everytime :)

FMA AND Girls Und Panzer? Man with excellent taste i see

A model of clarity and brevity, Johnny, many thanks...good movie clips...E

I was in the Australian Infantry and did several specialist courses and served in several different Specialist platoons. One was DFSW or Direct Fire Support Weapons, we used the Mag58 Machinegun in both direct and indirect fire using tripods and the same C2 sight as a mortar uses and the also used the 84mm Carl Gustav. DFSW was the amalgamation of two different platoons, SFMG (Sustained Fire Machine Gun) and Anti Armour platoon. We used to practice tank hunting with the 84. They used to weigh 16kg unloaded but now the new versions are only about 9kg I believe. Pretty sure the rounds averaged about 2.5kg each depending on what the were and each man carried 4 of them that's on top of our normal rifles. I once weighed my gear fully loaded for a 5 day operation and it weighed 71kg (156.5 pounds). Had to lay backwards on your pack then someone would roll you over then get to your hands and knees and either use a tree or your mates to help you stand up!!

The Dom Tropen from Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory also has version of this weapon called the Raketen Bazooka.

"Panzerschreck! Time to unpimp his ride!"

Thanks to you I see movies I was not aware existed. Thank you for what you're doing. Please keep labelling the clips with the titles and year

Great video mate

Thanks for featuring one of my favorite games Post Scriptum, it is a extremely realistic game & really well shows the experience of a WW2 soldier in combat, hell. They are old videos but glad the game got some attention from you, keep up the great work!

Very nice, I always love to see little clips from the beast, amazing movie

Johny,your video ar the Best and i watched some of the movies presented by You.

The Panzershreck was a heavy anti Tank gun and was effective in destroying the Sherman tank in one shot however due to it's heavy handling the soldiers had replaced it with the disposable panzerfaust to deal with tanks due to it's light handling

Although quick it's nice to see Girls_und_panzer featured here

My man has hit the peak with the Girls und Panzer footage! :)

That part where they show actual German footage presents one minor, but very important detail that I don't think any movies or video games ever showed. That loading the rocket into the tube was not enough. You also had to connect it to the inbuilt battery, in order to fire it.

The Panzerschreck was the Result of Germans capturing an American M1 60mm Bazooka during the Africa Campgain, and the 88mm Panzerschreck gave the Americans a Reason to Further Enlarge their Bazookas, which Gave way to the M9 Bazooka and the Largest Man Portable Anti-Tank Launcher used post World War 2 (At least in my Opinion), the 90mm (89mm) M20 Super Bazooka, probably my Most Favorite of the Launchers, what can I say? I Love Big Guns that go *BOOM!* and No one can Deny that a Flash of Light and Fire, giving way to an Earth Shattering Boom, is both a Frightening and Awesome Sight to Behold! And Seeing How the Panzerschreck was Used IRL (Via Training Videos) and in Movie, you can Really see it, that is more that Just Shoving a Rocket up the Metal Tube's Rear, but I guess its a Tiny Detail the Most Movies don't show because it quite Subtle and well in a way... Uninteresting... But to me, Tiny Details like that are Nice to see... Simply shows that Movie Makers have done their Homework. My Thanks, for another Informative Video Johnny! And Seeing the Red Berets again, since watching it when I was Little, was a Total Nostalgia Trip, not that a lot of the Film Clips used in this Video Didn't give me any Nostalgia Trips... In fact... I'm Overdosed in it, every time I watch your Videos! Keep up the Amazing and Informative Work, my Friend! Keep the Good Stuff Coming!

I wish if you could make a video about the Tiger in Movies keep up the good work :)

The way how you said panzerschreck hat mich so sehr zum Lachen gebracht

Great video!

That's a damn badass thumbnail you've got right there, buddy.

Suggestion: Javelin anti tank missile launcher in movies

It's cool to see footage from a more obscure game like Post Scriptum.

Tragically, the effect of the back blast of, in this case, a Panzerfaust, can be seen in "The Ogre" when the young HJ member is standing behind one as it fires. Horribly burnt, he expires from his wounds while in the Lazarett. 😥

Yorkie: JOJO! *panzershreck hits the building everyone is screaming* yurki : oh god.

Search YT for "Danger 5 - Final Battle" for the most historically accurate depiction of a Panzerschreck ever in a television show.

ayyy Girls und Panzer! ngl thats the best anime Ive watch and I adore it

2:39 when she says put the fire out and he responds with SIR im sitting thinking what an idiot

Hollywood, this thing is a two man weapon. Fix yo self

Bazooka, Panzerfaust and Panzerschreck are what I would call the "Hollow Charge Revolution". Prior to hollow charge weapons, the primary way to destroy a tank was: Fire a realy hard projectile, realy, realy fast. Just comparing muzzle velocity and callibre could tell you wich AT gun was "better" at penetrating armor across all ranges. "How far away could it penetrate X mm of armor" became the biggest factor in deciding how usefull a AT weapon was. Hollow Charge Weapons changed that. For them, projectile speed is _entirely_ irrelevant. Which is why they could be turned into human portable weapons, suitable for ambushes. Armor thickness is also largely irrelevant. Distance only maters for dodging and active defense AT guns basically have vanished now. Even tank guns changed. While there is still the odd kinetic penetrator, most AT projectiles nowadays are hollow charge weapons themself. The race for speed has ended. At the same time, Armor changed. "just a thick armor" became entirely useless. Spaced armor, Reactive armor - that is where it is all at now.

8:10 I'd like to see more clips of this good movie

Focus on a weapon that is as dangerous to use for the operator as its use is for the intended target highlights the sacrifice of the common soldier.

“Dimitri, fire the panzerschrek!”

That soldier in the front of the camera at 8:22 has an mp35, cool

Even at the Cold War you can tell how Panzershreck couldve continue till to the late 60s even NATO made derivatives of it like the RL93 and the LRAC-50

Great video Johnny! Could we get something like a ww2 exotic weapon? Like I don't know a welrod or a delisle carbine? Pretty please!!!!

I cant stop thinking bout panzershrek

Panzerschreck is the German version of the American M9 Bazooka, an anti-tank weapon using a small rocket shell in a disposable 88mm. tube launcher with a deflector shield and Panzerschrecks were used by the Wehrmact during WWII in both Western and Eastern European theaters, but these were very effective than the Panzerfaust RPG and can knock out Allied and Soviet tanks in the battlefields during the war, it became the basis of Light Anti-tank Weapons (LAWs) mainly Anti-tank missiles including the Javelin and many others globally.

I'm in a reenactment group who has an original. I can attest that it would make an excellent stovepipe.

Ready steady Go!

0:28 that isn't a panzerschrek, that is Dio. He reacted when he heard the name JoJo

I like how the Battlefield 2042 clip was set in German so its 100% German

This is a Panzerschreck. It schrecks Panzers.

Hey man LOVE your content keep it up. Can you do a vid on the German Kar98???

Use to counter allies tank effective range 150 > 163 base on the video Allies tank in CoH2 : effective again every target more effective while moving The panzerschrek : hit everywhere but tank Me : are you kidding me

17cm?! Bro that's sick, no allied tank could stop that thing not even the pershing with 101mm of frontal armor Neither could the Soviet IS tank Just impressive

The first thing I thought of when I saw Panzerschreck as the title was the Dentist Sketch from Flying Circus. I am smiling like a stupid kid that the sketch was clipped in the video.

Also when you fire one it's best to shout "What Are You Doing In My Swamp?"

77 Reichsmarks converts to about $3715 today. Assuming that we take the usual rounded 2.5 USD to Reichsmark conversion figure for 1941 (real was something like 2.497:1 or something).

Just two linguistic notes: The first "k" in "Panzerknacker" is not a silent "k"; in German, it is audibly pornounced as "-Kn-". And at 2:13, the second "-zer-" in "Panzerzerstörtrupp" - i.e. "Panzer-ZER-störtrupp" was left out entirely. The way it is spelled here - effectively "Panzer-Störtrupp" - it would mean "Panzer Hampering Team".

The shot of the b 10 recoiless rile is from the beast 1987

When Matt Damon said PANZERSCHRECK!!! I felt that

I’m not sure if I missed if it’s been made but have you made a video about the maxim machine gun?

Grab the Tank Terror, HA I love that name

5:57 Post Sciptum

You should do one on the springfield 1903

Hey man the videos are amazing and maybe a bit of a late comment. I just wanted to mention that (im from Germany) panzerknacker translates more to tank cracker than tank breaker. But still awesome video

I like how all kinds of Shreks are big, green, and angry.

"Rocket armour rifle-(pipe?) 54" would probably be more accurate but also a lot more confusing

Some of these weapons are military movies series and books and video games

What are the tanks shown in the clip from The Last Escape? They look like M41 Walker Bulldog tanks modified to look like some type of WWII German tank.

tanks can still be usefull, but perhaps no longer in the infantry support role, but rather to take out other tanks and ifv/apc/.... in the open field, as those would be better equiped to take out the anti tank teams

The iconic tank fist i hope you talk about another iconic weapon the 50 cal machine gun

Which One is the deadliest Quad of all Times? a)M45 Quad b)M53 DsHK Quad c)ZPU-4 14.5mm QUAD d)Polsten-4 20mm

Nice piece of kit,got one myself,problem is it was issued,depending on the theatre of war,with summer and winter rounds......if a winter round was issued in say northern france it would be ineffective....if a summer round was say issued in russia,the heat of the sun would be enough to make a spare round laying about explode the body of the round had a special raised section to denote which round was for which climate.

Panzerschreck: Was machst du in mein Sumpf?

New subscriber btw! Awaiting new content...

"I KNOW it's technically impossible to shoot a Panzershreck from an enclosed position! Don't read the fucking manual next time and you won't care so much!" ~German Panzergrenadier when ordered to garrison a building or structure, Company of Heroes 2

The Panzerschrek, or ‘Tank Terror’, was basically a giant Bazooka

The "ü" is spoken more like an english "u" except higher and sharper. Clean editing many kudos

Can you do video of suomi kp m31

"Please add any knowledge or experience you have on the subject." Y'know I was a panzer shrecker back in '44.

So which one better panzershereck or panzerfaust

Choose it to be shielded well

The word schreck can also mean monster or horror.

Do the american bazooka next

This made soldiers, "Say hello to little friend"! >;)

Panzaerschreck: me thinking that its shrek on a tank

Please do the american bazooka and maybe even the Russian dp27

m26 pershing and m46 patton tanks now

Can you do the panzerFaust

300th like lol.ive been waiting for a panzershcreck video.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mXWUCmeUF9o.html Just asking, from this Swiss film about their armed forces and what not, they did use a Panzerschreck, right? Or is this a more "modernized" version for the time, or reproduction the Swiss made? Been wondering that for quite some time.

In the early years of the war the light-weight 37 mm anti-tank gun, in motorized units, was highly effective. Much more effective than the alternatives at the time. When light-weight anti-tank guns could no longer be effective and the effective anti-tank guns could not be deployed in adequate numbers because of a lack of transportation for them, then these AT team weapons and panzerfausts became ubiquitous.
