Question about M39's

[Mikhail]

I know the M24 Stick grenades were loaded with Trinitrotoluene, was this the same filling (sounds like I am talking about pastries!) used on the M39 "egg" grenade? And if it was (and I am asking regarding both the 39 & 42, was its appearance more Pale yellow loose "needles", flakes or prills -or- was it melt-cast into the case where it became a solid block?

I was just asking because I've seen a cutaway awhile back on a 39 and it looked like it was loose filling...but I've also seen a cutaway where it was represented as a solid block.

Just curious as to which way would be a more accurate representation for cutaways of these grenades.

Thanks!
Mikhail

I like pastries!
According to Waffen-Arsenal Band 174, the Eierhandgranate 39 was filled with Fllpulver 02 (TNT), Donarit I or Donarit II.
Donarit I is a red powder (Explosivstoffe - Khler et Al.)

I hope that helps.
