It served with units of the Nebeltruppen, the German equivalent of the U.S. Army's Chemical Corps. Just as the Chemical Corps had responsibility for poison gas and smoke weapons that were used instead to deliver high-explosives during the war so did the Nebeltruppen. The name "Nebelwerfer" is best translated as "Smoke Mortar".[3] It saw service from 1943–45 in all theaters except Norway and North Africa. DescriptionThe 30 cm NbW 42 was a six-barreled rocket launcher mounted on a two-wheeled carriage converted from the launcher for the 28/32 cm Nebelwerfer 41 by changing the open metal launcher frame. Its 30 cm Wurfkörper 42 Spreng (explosive missile) rocket was spin-stabilized and electrically-fired. The rockets had a prominent exhaust trail that kicked up a lot of debris, so the crew had to seek shelter before firing. This meant that they were easily located and had to displace quickly to avoid counter-battery fire. The rockets were fired one at a time, in a timed ripple, but the launcher had no capability to fire single rockets.[4] The same rocket was used in the 30 cm Raketenwerfer 56 launcher. Organization and useThe 30 cm NbW 42 was organized into batteries of six launchers with three batteries per battalion. These battalions were concentrated in independent Werfer-Regiments and Brigades.[5] It saw service on the Eastern Front, Italian Campaign and the defense of France and Germany from 1943–45.[6] Notes1. ^Engelmann, p. 5 2. ^Engelmann, p. 46 3. ^LEO online dictionary 4. ^Gander and Chamberlain, pp. 321-2 5. ^Niehorster, Leo W.
