During late-war years of 1944-1945, Nazi paramilitary units were converted into Volkssturm (Home Guard) for last-ditch defense of the Fatherland. Volksturm - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volksturm

Volkssturm should not be confused with Volksgrenadier units which were ex-German veterans serving in National Guard formations. In combat, Volkssturm were almost totally useless militarily since they were controlled by Nazi party hierarchy, Volksgrenadier were organized and lead by the German military.

Rollover : Top left shows MP-44 assault rifle, Gewehr 43 infantry rifle and Panzerfaust. Standard German infantry rifle from 1898 to 1943 was the bolt-action Karabiner 98k, which required the shooter to manually eject the empty shell casing before firing next round. Karabiner 98k - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAR_98

As war progressed, Germans needed higher rate of rifle fire, thus Gewehr 43 was introduced in which a 10-round magazine can be fired and auto-ejected before replaced with a new clip. Operation similar US M1 Garand rifle. Gewehr 43 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gewehr_43

With Soviet tank superiority outnumbering Germans from 10-to-1 to 50-to-1, only defensive fallback was to hunt down these Soviet tanks in build-up urban areas with Panzerfausts. This tactic was successfully utilized by all combatants, thus armor usually advanced with infantry support in closed-up urban or heavy foliaged areas. This combat experience can be appreciated from online First-Person-Shooter WW2-era PC games such as Battlefield 1942, Battlefield 2, Call of Duty, game info located at Gamespot.com

Photo upper right shows soldier preparing to fire larger warhead Panzerfaust 150. Germans also designed Panzerfaust 250 which had a pistol grip and solid propellant in both warhead and firing tube, but did not go into production. Soviets captured design specifications and produced the Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPG) series. Rocket Propelled Grenades - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_propelled_grenade
