Reading in "German guided missiles" By Nowarra

"..The tube of the Panzerbuchse AT rocket was utilized on a trial basis.Under the designation PD 8.8 cm Pz. Büchsenrohr, these weapons began to be deploued beginning in October 1944 and formed the basis for the development of the panzerblitz I, for which the 8cm R high-explosive grenade, used by the army, had formed a basis for development. "

This seems to have been a failure but versions 2 and 3 were made also. Any pics/results on those.Thanx for any info!

Are these aerial weapons? Such as those slung from beneath wings in grouped rather crude racks? That's certainly what I'd thought the 'Panzerblitz' was but as I've little good info on air-mounted gear I'd be hesitant to stand on that.

Cheers,
Adam.
