Additional Information

Nebelwerfer - a series of German weapons literally translated as "tumanomet" - the name was given to circumvent the requirements of the Treaty of Versailles. Formally, Nebelwerfer Was designed for the production of smoke screens, although the ability to fire high-explosive shells was originally laid. The installation was used by Germany in almost all theatres of war. During the war, it was built 6000 systems and about 5.5 million 15 cm rockets. For characteristic howl at start was nicknamed in troops of Germany "Heulende Kuh" (howling cow), in red army the nickname "donkey"Was fixed. The volley was accompanied by a thick smoke trail that negated any disguise and was an excellent reference point for artillery, after each start it was necessary to change the position, and there was a significant lack of rocket launcher - its low mobility. To solve this problem, rocket launchers were installed on a half-track conveyor "Maultier" - such a system was more expensive and less effective than the famous "Katyusha", only about 300 copies were built.

the kit includes a set of photo etching and metal trunks.
