The Germans should be given their “Egg” Hand grenade to serve as a visually distinct German Impact grenade.
M39 Eihandgranate.
Fuse cap colour-codes
- Red – 1 second delay (for coloured smoke, but also booby-trap)
- Blue – 4.5 second (standard issue)
- Yellow – 7.5 seconds (used on the Hafthohlladung 3 – magnetic shaped charge)
- Grey – No delay (used for demolition work or as booby-trap)
It was actually more common than the M24 stick grenade but you wouldn’t know that if you just watch movies…
