Thomas W Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 That's also the incendiary grenade, called variously the Brandgranate, Brandhandgranate, or Flammenkugel.This flamethrower shock troop from early 1916 has a couple bags of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea if it is the same grenade as the one I have pictured? I am still not sure of how mine fits into the picture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Liontas Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Did they actually put gas in them?? I didnt know they would have a gas grenade. What would they use? Chlorine or phosgene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "flame ball" was identical to the smoke grenade. There's no way to tell them apart except by their guts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas W Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Did they actually put gas in them?? I didnt know they would have a gas grenade. What would they use? Chlorine or phosgene? Actually, they used tear gas. The Russians had a toxic gas grenade, but it wasn't effective because grenade heads couldn't hold enough of the agent. A small amount of tear gas can effect a trench full of soldiers without gas masks, but a small amount of poisonous gas will dissipate quickly.
