Notes | The 28/32cm NbW 41 fired six rockets and these were a mixture of high explosive and incendiaries. The 280mm rockets contained the HE with the heavier 320mm carrying the incendiary liquid. The rockets were carried on rails instead of tubes The 28/32cm NbW 41 was grouped into batteries of six launchers, three such batteries made up a battalion. An independent Werfer regiment or brigade contained three battalions. |
