This channel features Military History ranging from Classical Times up to contemporary conflicts. The focus is to keep it short, visual, analytical and entertaining. Since around June 2016 almost every video uses mainly academic books as sources, if possible. The sources are always provided in the description. “A good speech should be like a woman's skirt; long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest.” - Winston Churchill FAQ: http://militaryhistoryvisualized.com/faq/ »» Personal & Educational Background «« Bernhard Kast Master of Arts in History from the University of Salzburg (Austria) Bachelor and Master of Science in Computer Science from the University of Salzburg (Austria) Internship at the Military Research Institute (Militärgeschichtliches Forschungsamt) in Potsdam (Germany)

Video Description
Why Rifle Grenades? Germany alone produced more than 60 million rifle grenades in World War 2 and other countries like the United States of America used them extensively as well. Yet, this weapon is rarely covered, as we look at why rifle grenades and take also a closer look at the Schießbecher (shooting cup) or Gewehrgranatgerät (rifle grenade device) of the Wehrmacht, which was is mounted on the Kar98k aka “the Mauser”. We look at the sight, how to fix, the rifle grenades, blueprints, production numbers and various other elements.
