Answer

the Germans created the Panzerfaust, a Small rocket launcher, which literally translates into "armor fist"

the germans created some of the the most impressive weapons the world had ever seen.the mg42 machine gun they invented during world war 2 is still used in many armies today..the 88mm flak gun was designed for anti-aircraft use but its operators discovered that it was also a great anti-tank gun.they also invented the worlds first ballistic and inter-continental missiles.the v1 and v2 rockets.they had the first jet engined air-craft.the germans also had infra-red night vision during ww2.maybe there best weapon of all was there highly trained army,probably the best fighting army in human history,and under a high command that no country could match.
