The 28/32 cm Nebelwerfer 41 (28/32 cm NbW 41) was a German multiple rocket launcher used in the Second World War. It served with units of the so-called Nebeltruppen, the German equivalent of the U.S. Army's Chemical Corps. The 28cm-32cm Nebelwerfer 41 fired two distinct rocket types from a bank of two launchers mounted on a two-wheeled carriage.
The launcher was capable of firing used two different rockets. The wooden frames of the launcher were sized to fit the 32 centimetre or 28cm rockets. The 28 cm Wurfkörper Spreng (Explosive missile) rocket weighed 82 kilograms (181 lb) and had a 50 kilograms (110 lb) high-explosive warhead while the weapons in this kit are the 32 cm Wurfkörper Flamm (Incendiary missile) was normally filled with 50 litres (13 US gal) (45 kilograms (99 lb)) of incendiary oil (Flammöl). These could carry poison gases or decontamination fluids. The oil could cover 200 square metres (2,200 sq ft)
Both rockets were spin-stabilized and electrically-fired. They had a prominent exhaust trail that kicked up a lot of debris, so the crew had to seek shelter before firing. This meant that they were easily located and had to displace quickly to avoid counter-battery fire. The rockets were fired one at a time, in a timed ripple, but the launcher had no capability to fire single rockets.
