The '''8.8 cm Raketenwerfer 43 Puppchen'''{{efn|Many sources refer to this weapon as ''Püppchen'', German for "little doll".

''Raketenwerfer 43'' was given to [[infantry]] to bolster their anti-tank capability. The weapon was fired from a small two-wheeled gun carriage which fired a percussion-primed, rocket-propelled, fin-stabilized [[grenade]] RPzB. Gr. 4312<ref name="RottmanShumate2014">{{cite book |author1=Gordon L Rottman |author2=Johnny Shumate |author3=Alan Gilliland |title=Panzerfaust and Panzerschreck |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=azJfBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA29 |date=20 August 2014 |publisher=Osprey Publishing |isbn=978-1-78200-790-6 |pages=29–30 |access-date=9 September 2015}}</ref> with a [[shaped charge]] [[warhead]].

Approximately 3,000 units were completed from 1943 to 1945. It was made in much smaller numbers than either the ''Panzerschreck'', which was based on the American [[Bazooka]] rocket launcher, or the ''[[Panzerfaust]]'', which was a disposable anti tank [[recoilless rifle]]. This is partly because it was realized that a simple hollow tube with an ignition device was all that was needed to launch the 88 mm rocket, rather than an elaborate miniature artillery piece with carriage and breech. Due to the carriage and better sights, the accuracy was better, and the range more than double that of the ''Panzerschreck''. However, ''Raketenwerfer 43'' was more expensive, heavier and had longer production time than ''Panzerschreck'' or '' Panzerfaust''.<ref name="RottmanShumate2014" />
