One thing Germans had was equipment with memorable noises. Either the Stuka, the MG34 or the Nebelwerfer

The 150mm nebelwerfer first saw active service in 1941. A battery of six werfers could fire a salvo of 36 rockets in ten seconds with the second salvo following one minute behind the first. The fuel for the rocket was either 7 tubes of diglycol or triglycol as well as black powder (issues and high crew loses resulted due to the increased launcher visibility from the use of black powder). Walter R Dornberger was the creator of "nebelwerfer" and its rocket. The weapons main effect of damage was concussion as very little shrapnel was produced by the warhead(? head at the tail). The propellant used was later changed (subsequent larger diameter rockets) to be smokeless and reduced launcher visibility to enemy counter battery fire. As an addition to weapon system evolution and increase in mobility and to reduce launcher crew loses, a special ten barrelled 150mm launcher was create to be mounted on the Mauliter chassis with an armoured superstructure known as the Panzerwerfer 42 and in limited numbers the SWS chassis was also converted to mount the ten barrelled launcher.

Who remembers these from that mission on Medal of Honour: Allied Assault?

Walther Dornberger, from designing this device to the Saturn 5 that sent Apollo 11 to the moon..

I visited you guys in Cairns last week, absolutely loved the museum!!

[CanOfRabbitHoles]

Perfect sound balance in the edit placing the sound of firing without distorting the speech. Very subtle and spot on work there. Nice

[Dfekt]

Company of hero’s 1 really captures the sound for this. Always found it fantastic

[BlastedBilly]

Very eerie sound from the Nebelwerfer!

[albertschultz]

Excellent channel. Educational and very good narrators. Thanks mates

[gadgetfellow]

As soon as i saw it i could hear the rockets in my great videos guys

[luuko]

Could we please do another video on the Type 95 Ha-Go??? This time more focus on interior engine and drive train?

[lanaconin]

No way! An Aussie channel! So damn cool!

[yattaran]

Always my pleasure to watch this channel !.

In Company of Heroes, if you manage to get a Nebelwerfer, its instant arty and really erases infantry squads and does fairly decent damage to armor.

I love your videos! You have a wealth of information to share. I was hoping to hear what the rockets sounded like when fired. Please consider adding this to future video. Even just a recording of one would be fine.

Eeyy, our favorite Jason's back!

[troymolitor]

Most informative video. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[scipioafricanus]

Great information. I didn’t know the rocket was so expensive compared to the launcher…but I can see why!

[stephenwarhurst]

I heard somewhere that the Nebelwerfer sound was used for the Roar FX sound of the Tie-Fighters in Star Wars
