History
Like the Stielhandgranate 24, the Nebelhandgranate 39 consists of a thin iron or steel casing, or head, containing the explosive filler. However, instead of the H.E. filling this grenade is filled with a Berger smoke mixture. There are eight holes in the base of the head through which the smoke escapes. The handle has three horizontal corrugations at the screw cap end to assist in differentation by touch. This head is screwed onto a hollow wooden handle, through the center of which runs a double length of cord. At one end, this cord is attached to a lead ball which is part of the friction-igniter-detonator system, and at the other end to the metal cap which screws onto the end of the handle.
