Hey guys, Does anyone have an example of a 30 cm Wurfkörper 42 Spreng in their collection that they can post pictures of?

There was one found in the Czech Republic south of Brno in may . As far as I know it is the only one since 2011. I have little info on the previous period, but I would say that there were not many since the end of WW2.

Wow! The operator of that tractor must have pee'd in his pants when he saw that. I assume those were not WWII diggers and that the Wurfkörper was destroyed instead of being disarmed, cleaned up and put in a museum. :tinysmile_cry_t: Too bad, especially if these are that rare.
 
The rocket is in storage now.
In the future it will be used for EOD tech education.
