dksck Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) I came across the word "Granatwiese" in a regimental history, but really don't have a good understanding of what it means. I realize that it has something to do with artillery and/or shells and/or grenades because the word appears in parentheses after the word "Geschütze". I'm pretty sure it's not a "garnet meadow". (Please forgive that weak attempt at humor). Any and all help is greatly appreciated as always. Thank you!

speedytop Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Hi, there are different explanations. You can find "Granatwiese" as a street name in Germany, may be with a historical base. And you can find "Granatwiese" in WW I in France in different places, as German name for fields with many shell craters. The picture is out of a book: Heinrich Magnus Ivens »Meine liebe kleine Frau« Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubagne98 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 That was my first idea, too. A field (as "Wiese" a huge meadow or lawn) used as target for granades while basic training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
