Hello,
Maybe an easy answer.
What does mean the big black "K" painted on green explosive pot of M24 german stick grenade ?
Regards
 
I knew 'K' indicated for cold climate but what would need to be changed/added in the filling for this? were special fuzes/dets needed too (those being added just prior to use)? were these just issued generally to the cold Eastern Front/Scandinavia etc or in all areas of operations as winter approached?
