rdfs:comment
  • The 30 cm Nebelwerfer 42 (30 cm NbW 42) was a German multiple rocket launcher used in the Second World War. 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-thrower". It saw service from 1943–45 in all theaters except Norway and North Africa.
  • The Nebelwerfer 42 (30 cm), also simply known as the 30 cm NbW 42, was a rocket artillery launcher that was used by Germany during World War II.
