Brain 126 Posted February 26, 2017 at 01:42 PM Report Share "Nebelwerfer" (lit. "fog/smoke launcher") mountings for what are essentially RPGs. Name comes from the developer Rudolf Nebel and/or the fact that they produced a lot of smoke. This particular launcher "Schweres Wurfgerät 41" ("heavy launch device") fires either 50kg HE or 32kg 'napalm' warheads, over a distance of about 2km. Later variants had a range of about 4km. Although very inaccurate their impact was pretty massive, resulting in the nickname "StuKa on foot". Another nickname was "howling cow" due to the sound they made when launched. Quote Link to comment
