Grenades have been used for centuries and would become a standard part of a modern soldier’s gear in the 20th century. Out of all of the equipment that the German military used during the Second World War, perhaps the most easily recognisable would be the Stielhandgranate M24, a stick grenade that has become an iconic image of the conflict.
