KARL, what was the name of the man portable AA 20mm rocket launcher
system called. it fired in timed salvos so as to avoid throwing off the
aming point of the launcher.
i saw one over a fireplace near HANAU in a farmhouse, and i friend of
mine has seen one in a Normandy Museum, and one in a Berlin gastehaus.
my girlfriend's daddy lugged his home near the end of the war, and he
and friends buried all sorts of uniforms, equipment, weapons, ammo,
etc, on the farm, and became civvies till the war was over.
after the war, these weapons re-appeared as war souvenirs in their homes
around HANAU. pistols, machinepistols, assault rifles, and etc.
but what was this weapon called? it was in limited service as a defence
against JABOS, and he lugged it back from France, using it against both
vehicles and aircraft.
