The Nebelwerfer was developed in Germany in the early 1930s. The launcher consisted of six barrels on a mobile carriage adapted from the 37mm anti-tank gun. The six rockets were electrically fired over a period of 10 seconds. The weapon was designed to saturate a target with spin-stabilized smoke, explosive or gas rockets and was first used against the Red Army in the Soviet Union in 1941.
