Sniper teams, anti-tank teams and flamethrower teams are among the most prevalent, presenting your opponent with multiple challenges to overcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Panzerschreck was a German development of the American bazooka, first encountered in North Africa, firing a large calibre shaped-charge rocket projectile. The back-blast from the weapon was so intense that early teams wore protective capes and masks – later a blast shield was fitted to the weapon giving it a distinctive appearance. The Panzerschreck and disposable anti-tank Panzerfaust had replaced the Panzerbüchse 39 anti-tank rifle by 1944.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDuring the battle of Stalingrad, Russian snipers took such a heavy toll upon the beleaguered Wehrmacht that the Germans began to train and equip their own marksmen to undertake a specialist role as snipers. A variety of rifles were used for sniping, including the standard KAR-98K and the semi-automatic Gewehr 43, all fitted with the high quality ZF39 telescopic sight, and equipped with precision-manufactured ammunition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFlamethrowers – Flammenwerfer – were used through the war and were often employed against buildings or fortifications. During the latter part of the war, the Germans produced a lighter, smaller design that carried enough fuel for a single burst – effectively a one-shot flamethrower –the Eintossflammenwerfe. It is not known, however, whether this weapon was actually ever employed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eContains the following Warlord Resin Plus™ figures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2-man Panzerschreck team\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2-man Sniper team\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2-man Flamethrower team\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese figures are cast in our new and improved Warlord Resin Plus™.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Entoyment Wargaming and Hobby Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41288369143860,"sku":"","price":14.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/4960\/9012\/files\/402212012_GermanHeer_Winter_weaponsteams01_1.webp?v=1698853920","url":"https:\/\/entoyment.co.uk\/products\/german-army-winter-weapons","provider":"Entoyment Wargaming and Hobby Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
