Hello and welcome to another Battlegroup-Frontlines update. Today we have the 5cm Leichte Granatwerfer 36 and the 8cm Schwere Granatwerfer 34 as well as some ingame shots of the Opel Blitz. The Opel Blitz has been modelled by Bonehead and skinned by Tha_Godfather, the 5cm Leichte Granatwerfer 36 was modelled by Wyvern and skinned by Tha_Godfather and the 8cm Schwere Granatwerfer 34 was modelled by Seth_Soldier and skinned by Dauntless.
Development of the 5cm Leichte Granatwerfer 36 was started in 1934 and it was adopted for service in 1936. Its intended role was to engage pockets of resistance that were beyond the range of hand grenades (a role in which more than 550,000 rounds were used during the French Campaign in 1940); as such it was designed for high angled fire only (no less than 42°). The main drawbacks of the weapon were its inadequate range and the limited effectiveness of its ammunition (not heavy enough). Because of this by 1943 the LeGrW 36 production was ended and they were slowly withdrawn from frontline service although they were in service until the end of the war with non-frontline units.
