RPzB 54 "Panzerschreck" rocket launcher - 88mm

The Raketenpanzerbüchse (RPzB), better known by the nickname "Panzerschreck," was a German anti-tank launcher developed during the Second World War, based on captured American M1 Bazooka launchers which had been provided to Russia via lend-lease. Using a larger and more powerful 88mm rocket, it proved to be one of the most potent infantry anti-tank weapons of the war. Unlike the Bazooka, the Panzerschreck's rocket was still burning after exiting the launcher, and the initial production version, the RPzB 43, lacked a blast shield; troops in the field found it necessary to wear a gas mask to protect themselves from the rocket's exhaust. The shape along with the huge amounts of smoke the launcher produced resulted in it being dubbed the "Ofenrohr" (stove pipe), though this nickname seems to have been particular to the first version. The RPzB 54 featured a metal blast shield to protect the firer, and also had improved iron sights.
