Dutch Grenade Guide
OK, we have done pretty well with British and American grenade guides, how about Dutch?
The Dutch have produced quite a selection of grenades over the years, some very interesting ones. They have also used British and American grenades through the years, mostly during and just after the Second World War. Those we will not include in the photo guide, but will list at the bottom. Ok guys, let me have the photos we are missing.
Contributors to this guide are: R. Larson, A Meijers, B, Perkins, C. van Montfoort, B. Bosman, M. Frei, J. Geibel
Names are in Dutch!!!!
This one is known to be a Dutch grenade, but the designation is currently unknown, can anyone help?
