Isn't the 2nd and 7th video the same?
The fifth one is sad:( I think I've heard the same music in Medal of Honor: Frontline.

Rest in peace

Anyone know the weapon at the beginning of the second video, The one that appears to be on a sled.

I think its a 88mm recoilless launcher with the nickname "püppchen". Is usually has wheels instead of just a slide.
I guess it lowers the profile.

The Püppchen is a recoilless weapon firing the same ammunition as the Ofenrohr. It has no rearward flash and has a greater range than the Ofenrohr.

The 88-mm rocket used in both the Ofenrohr and the Püppchen is heavy enough to cause ammunition-supply difficulties in battle. (A box of three rounds weighs 24 pounds.) This is why the Germans try to build up supplies in all main and alternate positions.

Although the German bazooka, the Panzerfaüste, and the Püppchen have a very definite military value, they and the larger rocket weapons are now employed on such a large scale because shortages of materials, labor, and industrial facilities prevent the Germans from producing the requisite number of conventional artillery and antitank weapons. For instance, the average antitank company, which formerly was armed with from 9 to 12 guns, now has either around 3 guns and 36 bazookas, or no guns and about 54 bazookas. Probably the Panzerfaust is the most useful of these weapons, enabling the infantry squad and comparable units to stop Allied tanks.

Thank you Heinzi, I learned something new today :)
