smoke grenade-egg shaped

[Brian S.]

Has anyone seen or even heard of egg shaped smoke grenades? There is a description of one type in the "Handbook on German Military Forces" (nebeleihandgranate 42), but I have not been able to find any photos of one. If someone knows where I can find photos please let me know.

Thanks!

Brian,

check out page 255 of Angolias Uniforms and Traditions of the German Army 1933-45. A good pic.

Cheers

Mark

What's wrong ?

You will be able to post pictures directly if pay 20$ yearly tax to become an Association member. If not such you can post images by uploading them somewhere in the internet and then adding the link in your post.

Zunder, you understand me WRONG!!! You CAN post pictures! I am also not an association member, have paid nothing, but usually post pictures. Simply put the picture somewhere in the web /Villagephotos.com is a good host, there are a thousand other places where you can put you picture/ and them copy the link to it in your post. And it will be seen like a link in your post, the other will be able to open it.
And if you want directly to show the picture in your post - the picture itself to be seen, not the link to it - simply again copy the link, but put [img] infront of the link address and [/img] after it. That is all.
So please do not be so angry about these 20$. They are optional, you can post pictures for free from a server of your choice. But if you want to use the server of the forum - you have to pay - nothing bad about this, after all these forums and etc. cost money to the owners!!! I had been in several excellent forums that were at first for free, but after not long either became paid, or were closed forever, because all this costs big money and the owners started to receive BIG bills!
And also these 20$ are not only for pictures. The membership in the Association brings much more - like the right to enter the members' are of the forum and buy/sell collectibles with other collectors. And more. It is all well explaned, look around and read it.
