“My bad… I was referring to the recoilless howitzer , witch was not copied from the bazooka but the American recoilless gun.”
Pretty sure the US recoilless rifles entered service after the German 75mmLG 40, which the 105mm LG 40 was based on. The 75mm LG 40 was used in Crete while the 57mm M18 wasn’t used until about 1944, so pretty hard for the Germans to have copied the Americans.
