The Nebelwerfer
was developed
in Germany in the early 1930s. The launcher
consisted of six barrels on a mobile carriage adapted from the 37mm
anti-tank
gun. The
six rockets were electrically fired over a period of 10 seconds. The
weapon was designed to saturate a target with spin-stabilized smoke,
explosive or gas rockers and was first used against the Red
Army in the Soviet Union in 1941.
