The caption reads Panzershrek 150 but I have never heard of such a thing. Any ideas?

Ian Hogg ‘German Artillery of WWII’ mentions a recoiless weapon of this caliber as being under development, but provides no photograph or other details.
It is a prototype of a anti-tank weapon.
It is the so called “Gerät Hammer” - Several where made but if they see combat? I have a provisional manual - a weapon of the last days.
The caliber was 10,5cm and it couldt be dismantled to carry by a 3 man crew.
The gun couldt fire with high accuracy at 500m.

Did it fire rockets or shells? Looks like it could have been recoilless? Great break down pic by the way.

It fired fin stabilised hollow charge projectiles- you see one between the wheels in the dismantled parts foto.
It was recoilless and the charge was placed arround the fin shaft. It was fired electrical. Accuracy and performance was very good - a simple and light gun.
