Description: Original German WWII instruction table folder with 4 pages. Some translation: "General The hand grenade is a close combat weapon. (Throwing range about 25-30 m.) It is used against living targets in and behind cover that cannot be reached with other close combat weapons. It is indispensable in attacks against permanent fortifications, barricades, fortified houses and districts, when rolling up field fortifications and in defense. The moral effect of the detonation draught is very great and at least as important as the fragmentation effect. The fragmentation effect is limited to a small area. Only then can the hand grenade be used as an offensive weapon. With its concentrated charge, the hand grenade occasionally plays a role as a means of destruction or to defend against tanks. However, it requires great skill to throw the bundle at tanks in such a way that the delay fuse ignites just as the bundle is driven over. Effect When the hand grenade detonates, a strong air pressure wave occurs due to the explosive gases that suddenly form. The head and handle of the hand grenade are broken up into many small fragments. The fragments are fatal within a radius of 15 m or cause more or less serious injuries. Only a few fragments fly beyond 15 m. The air pressure wave is fatal within a radius of about 6 m or causes organ damage. The effect of the air pressure is even greater in enclosed spaces. The most powerful effect is always the paralysis of the enemy's will to resist or their attacking spirit. The explosive effect on objects, obstacles and weapons only occurs when there is direct contact."
