0:00 - Panzerfaust, an inexpensive, single shot, recoilless anti-tank weapon that consisted of a small, disposable pre-loaded launch tube firing a high-explosive anti-tank warhead. It was intended to be operated by a single soldier. While short ranged, its warhead could penetrate the armor of any Allied vehicle that saw service in WWII
0:06 - Faustpatrone, a forerunner of the Panzerfaust that operated on the same principle but used a smaller warhead
0:23 - Panzerschreck, an 88 mm reusable anti-tank rocket launcher that was designed as a lightweight infantry anti-tank weapon and was essentially an enlarged copy of the American Bazooka. The weapon was shoulder-fired and launched a fin-stabilized rocket with a shaped-charge warhead.
1:00 - Sturmgewehr 44, an assault rifle that was the first successful weapon of its type, with features including an intermediate cartridge, controllable automatic fire, a more compact design than a battle rifle with a higher rate of fire, and being designed primarily for hitting targets within a few hundred metres. Other rifles at the time were designed to hit targets of over a thousand meters, but this was found to be in excess of the range in which most enemy engagements actually took place.
