It could have been a panzershreck, but more likely a panzerfaust.
I read a very good book by a French soldier who was in the Waffen SS. He faught in the East and saw heavy combat. I recall him mentioning just how effective the panzerfaust was.

Darn, if he was using a panzerfaust, he was right up there in their face. Must have been an urban environment. Though how those tank riders with their PPsHs missed him, I don’t know...
