The Panzerfaust was used only in the Bucker pictured above, the Panzerschreck, or at list a sort of, was the rocket named “Panzerblitz” some were put in groups of 4 below the wing in a few FW-190F-8.

I agree with windrider and Churchill but i think it might be a good gun because germans i think they didn’t have air to ground missiles

Thanks for the reply and Panzerknacker thanks for the picture.
That is a very interesting part of aircraft armament.
Worth to stick on it.
