Video Description
Introduced in 1944, the Raketenwerfer 56 was among the last in a long line of Nebelwerfer (lit. “fog thrower”) rocket artillery deployed by the German military during the Second World War. Designed to maximize use of existing resources, it could fire both the newer 30cm Wurfkörper 42 and older 15cm Wurfgranate 41 rockets through the fitting of adaptor rails. 0:00 Intro 1:21 Origins of German Rocket Artillery 3:25 Nebeltruppen 4:16 15cm Nebelwerfer 41 8:00 28/32 cm Wurfkörper Spreng/Flamm 10:15 21cm Wurfgranate 42 11:39 30cm Wurfkörper 42 12:38 30cm Raketenwerfer 56 14:26 8cm Raketen-Vielfachwerfer 14:37 Propagandawerfer 41 15:29 38cm Raketenwerfer 61 L/5.4 (Sturmtiger) 16:14 Outro Farley Mowat’s V2 Rocket Heist Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5HXZB7KeX0&pp=ygUPdjIgcm9ja2V0IGhlaXN0 SOURCES: http://www.lonesentry.com/articles/rocket/index.html https://stephentaylorhistorian.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/op-1666-german-explosive-ordnance-volume-1.pdf https://weaponsandwarfare.com/nebelwerfers/ https://www.tracesofwar.com/articles/7368/German-Rocket-Artillery.htm https://www.lonesentry.com/articles/nebelwerfer/index.html https://hilo.hawaii.edu/campuscenter/hohonu/volumes/documents/GermanysRocketDevelopmentinWorldWarIIMartinHodapp.pdf
