[1] Being trained to fire this beast in AT-role at Panzertruppenschule does mean something about its use in the Bundeswehr, don´t you think ?

All in all, I must say it's astonishing difficult to get any hard facts about Bundeswehr equipment at all. Not because it's top-secret (it's still a conscript army), but because everything is so obscure and mixed-up and unsure (because it's a conscript army ?!).

However, I'll try to get official data about Panzerfaust, Milan I and II, the Marder and other items. May take some time, though....

Perhaps the REASON everyone finds it difficult to pin down exact dates IS BECAUSE they were not all sent to the junkyards the minute they became " obsolete " by more modern equipment. If people were training with it then it's available even though it might be technically out of service. Had a conflict arose, there is a very good chance those "training weapons" would have been used for their orignal purpose. It a grey area. If it wasn't there wouldn't be as much debate as there is.
