Is the Fliegerfaust an original, or a mock-up?

LOL, I thought Fr-Waffen SS divisions were disbanded after the defeat of Liberation of France.

But they weren't, and "Charlemagne" fought to the end in the streets of Berlin.

...And they still had MP-44's?

Yes, they'were in use to the last days, and even after in some armies.

Oh yeah, DDR-NVA used them until late 1950's...

It is called Luftfaust or Fliegerfaust, a 2cm weapon against low flying planes. 7 barrels of rockets.

aah yes, the first man operated anti ait weapon (:
was it very effective?
π: 0 β©: 1
More effective was in use contra infantry, then planes, because it has big spread - 50metres at 500m range.

The Germans should have borrowd some molotovs

They used them as well, and concrete grenades for Volksturm , so many interesting tuff was in field use , especially at last days of war...

Yeah the desperate last days :]
When the human is in huge crissis the brain starts to work as best.
Anthony Beevers book about the final days in Berlin is very interesting.

what do you think about the similarities between MP44 and the AK47 erik? the russian guy kalaschnikow got all the credit for the construction
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, yes it's very similiar, but mostly in shape only. The bolt is totally different, and has a cock handle from the right side, while Stg 44 has from left.So, it's not that straight
