EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an authentic German egg-shaped hand grenade, used during the First World War from 1914 to 1918. The grenade is cast iron, shaped like an egg, and painted black for camouflage on the battlefield. A small wire loop is located on the top of the grenade, which was used to attach a detonating cord or ignitor. The ignitor was typically lit using a match or a fuse, triggering the explosive charge inside the grenade. The German egg grenade was a common weapon used during trench warfare in the early years of World War One. Its unique shape and design allowed it to roll easily along the ground, making it difficult for soldiers to evade the explosive projectile. The grenade's cast iron construction also made it durable and able to withstand rough handling and harsh battlefield conditions. The use of hand grenades revolutionized close combat during the First World War, as they provided infantry units with a powerful and effective weapon against enemy troops in close quarters. The German egg grenade was a significant development in the history of military ordnance, and its design influenced the development of future hand grenades used in later conflicts. This photograph is a rare and valuable reminder of the technological innovations and military tactics used during the First World War. It offers a unique perspective into the history of military weaponry and the experiences of soldiers during this pivotal period in world history.
