Yes, there is photo evidence of Romanian Army using this weapon, mainly from spring 1944 onwards.

Probably yes, the weapons were German stock so the color was whatever the Germans used.

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..... This post has been edited by taiwi on November 04, 2014 02:58 pm |

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