It would be quite usefull to settle this, yes.
But the use of unguided AA weapons was common for that time, most guidingsystems were to complicated and expensive to be used in such common weapons.
Rommel is regarded as a chivalrous and humane officer because his Afrikakorps was never accused of any war crimes. Soldiers captured during his Africa campaign were reported to have been treated humanely; furthermore, he ignored orders to kill captured commandos, Jewish soldiers and civilians in all

Thats why bazooka was the best just like M1 Garand was the best rifle of WWII.
So it wasn't?
What wasnt?
Bazooka knocked out Tigers while Shreck knocked out Shermans. This makes Bazooka better.  :P
Schreck could pen more at a greater distance and could pen Every Allied tank , while the bazooka couls only pen the tigers rear.

Aiming the Bazooka wasn't an easy job either, as the guy handling it had to expose himself in order to properly aim and fire the weapon, meaning he had to put his life at serious risk.

BTW: the Bazooka's rocket could also penetrate the side of the Tiger's armour.

I say, Crowbar... The Fins would slam Crowbars into the threads of soviet tanks during the winter war until they invented the Molotov cocktail... That country's military history is awesome :P

They could also do it with rocks, lots of sticks, pieces of metal, heavy guns, and even dead bodies. And that only stops them, not kill them.

I voted for Panzerschreck without thinking, but by far Panzerfaust is in my humble opinion. The Volkssturm were issued those like cigarettes. I pride myself on having watched the entire Deutsche Wochenshau reels that came out during the Third Reich and in later episodes kids as young as 8 were knocking out tanks in Berlin to women as old as 70-80 training with them. I mean, who wants to have their tank taken out by some old house frau with a panzerfaust?

What? The Panzershreck was based off of captured American models from Operation Torch and the US invasion of Algeria and Morocco.
