Panzerwerfer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Panzerwerfer is the name for two different types of half-tracked multiple rocket launchers employed by Germany during the Second World War. The two self-propelled artillery vehicles are the 15cm Panzerwerfer 42 auf Selbstfahrlafette Sd.Kfz.4/1 (commonly called Maultier) and 15cm Panzerwerfer 42 auf Schwerer Wehrmachtsschlepper (or Panzerwerfer auf SWS). It was often called the "Moaning Minnie" by Allied forces.
