Panzerfäuste on bicycles

#1

Post by Daniel L » 24 May 2004, 14:16

I'm looking for photos of bicycles with Panzerfäuste mounted on them, especially photos of them being used by soldiers. Can anyone help me?

Best regards/ Daniel

No need, I have the book but perhaps someone else doesn't.

Here's the kind of photos I'm looking for. These men probably belong to Panzerjagddivision "Weichsel". They are armed with Panzerfäuste and Sturmgewehre. One of them appears to be a Leutnant. Source: German Weapons of World War II by Bishop and Warner.
