U.S. ROCKET GUN
DEADLY SECRET WEAPON London, April 4. The American troops in Britain are confident that a simple but deadly secret weapon they possess, which Is nicknamed the “Bazooka” and costs only 10s to produce, is going to give the panzer crews a bad headache. The “Bazooka” is a rocket launcher. It consists of a plain metal cylinder and weighs only a few pounds and can be easily carried. Its missile is so destructive that it can penetrate tank armour and make casualties of the crew.
The “Bazooka” has been used in North Africa with pronounced success because of the ease with which it is operated.
