The Lyrics

In the last year of WW2 the Hungarians were desperate to defend Budapest and the German arms supply was slowly being cut-off. So a local company put together a combo of US Bazooka and German Panzerschreck and called it the Pancelrem (same as German meaning= Tank Terror). This weapon was of lower caliber than the other two at only 60mm and had an effective range of 150 m. It was as crude as the early Bazookas but had the configuration and blast shield of the Panzerschreck. Several hundred were made but no one knows exactly how many were issued and used in combat against the Red Army. Had this weapon been produced earlier it might have come in handy on Hungarian rivers and in the field. But the Germans disliked it and continued to use their own Panzerfausts, Panzerschrecks, and Nebelwerfers in Hungary before beign pushed back westward.
Odd rocket launcher use
Mixed design

Bazooka-type was not improved
The Pancelrem
Was Hungarian

Soldiers demanded it
Reds comin’ around
Lack of artillery
Anti-tank weapon could bring ‘em down

[German weapons just could not be found]

Odd rocket launcher use
Mixed design
For time

Produced few
Produced few
Produced few
Defense of Budapest
Weapons were scarce
Were made locally
100s at best

[A real field test!]

Rarity
Odd rocket launcher use
Mixed design
(Bazooka/Panzerschreck crude copy)
