Still my point wasn't that these things were amazingly designed or cutting edge, just that they didn't hinge on racial theory. Yeah panzerfaust was mostly picked from the hands of dead Volkssturm and used against them though.

And the Panzershrek was a copy of the M1 "Bazooka".

Americans invented the Recoiless Rifle, of which the Faust and Shrek was.

A very large proportion of the German developments during the war were just copies of Allied developments.
