Another popular nickname was Ofenrohr (“stove pipe”).

The Panzerfaust [lit. "tank fist"] was a disposable recoilless rifle firing an anti-tank warhead. No rocket was involved. It was called by troops as the St. Gabriel weapon as the soldier firing one would soon be hearing St. Gabriel blowing his horn.
