| Probably yes, the weapons were German stock so the color was whatever the Germans used. Source: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bundesarchiv_Bild_101I-024-3529-12,_Russland-S%C3%BCd,_%C3%9Cbung_mit_Panzerabwehrwaffe.jpg |

| Thank you. I know these pictures - these are from the practise of romanian officers supervised/ teached by the Germans. The soviet tank in background was used as a target for the shooting from the panzerschreck. (photo is from southern Ukraine) But I have never seen any photo from the real combat..... |

| Yes, there are mentions in war memoirs of some units destroying tanks with rocket launchers during the summer of 1944. |
