Ah you mean the Stielhandgranate 24 ( also known as WH M24 ) with the (fuse) Brennzünder 24. Yes that's the one we may see almost in all pics or documantaries. In Poland we call it "tłuczek do kartofli" (potato masher).
That's true. No wonder... the BT tank series gave the soviet designers much of experience. Well.. IMHO it was a matter of time the T-34 could appear. Just they all drew the same conclusions. Also here in Poland ( see the 10TP tank )
"Well, Franz may have got the stereo, but we got the fuel, and the cigarettes !".
"Ja, und we could have had the furry dice too, but they were cheap, Far East copies !".
I just learned why the handles are made that way. It takes two to carry the Jerry. What do you expect? I'm a zoomie. I thought the trucks carry the fuel.
