From the Galleries - German Stielhandgranate

This hand gr***de, nicknamed the "Potato Masher" was used by German forces in WWI and WWII. The long stick gave the German soldier more leverage, and could be thrown farther, than the round gr***de the allied forces were using at the time. However, the German stick gr***de had less of an explosive charge than the round “pineapple” fragmentation gr***de. The Stielhandgranate was considered an attack gr***de, because a soldier could throw it, then run after it. The shrapnel would keep the enemies head down while the German soldier, was still out of the blast radius.
