For the love of the gods please stop it, I don't know if I should dribble or cry! :lol: Although it is an indication of just how screwed German tanks and vehicles were in 1945 and why there are so few left.

Those my friend are very late war (last ditch) grenades made locally from tin cans or concrete with a simple wooden handle attached and a string attached to a fuze in the head just like the stick grenade very rare and only used in the very last weeks/months of the war
