Help - can you identify this gun?

[mellis1644]

I am starting a 15mm German project (brought long ago and now starting) and in an old fames of war Grenadier pack there is an 'infantry gun' of some kind - definitely not in the manifest list for this pack. It did have all the bits I believe.

I have not cleaned the gun up yet but can anyone with more knowledge of the period tell me what gun this is? I assume it's German but heck, thought I would ask...

I include a picture as an attachment

Thanks in advance

I believe it is a 8.8-cm Raketenwerfer 43 “Puppchen” - an 88mm rocket launcher.

That would be my guess too.

Thanks - that seems to be it. Been reading about this from the web as I had not even heard of this.

Seems as though Battlefront added that to the blister along with 3 AT-rifles. I'll find a few spare figs and make up a crew for it. That gives me options, now that I know what it is.

Thanks again for the expert help from both of you.

Yes the Puppchen. By the sound of it you have GE701 Company HQ which includes this, anti tank rifles and a 2.8cm sPzB 41.

This is actually the first edition Grenadier box set... Likely 10+ years old at least now.
