Prototype anti-tank missile from the end of World War II. It was a development successor, resp. simplified construction based on 8.8 cm Püppchen. The project was developed by Wasag. The weapon consisted of a barrel length of 1125 mm mounted on a simple carriage with a bipod. A significant difference was the absence of a protective shield and a special nozzle above the barrel, from which the gases generated during the shot were removed. The grenade was of the type R.Pz.Gr.4312. The weight of the weapon was 23.5 kg and it was carried by one soldier. It was an extremely practical and powerful weapon, which, however, did not get into series production.
