Kfz.15 is a German, medium, off-road vehicle from the interwar period and World War II. The car was produced in the years 1937-1943. The drive was provided by a single 8-cylinder engine with power from 80 to 90 HP and capacity from 3.5 to 3.8 liters, depending on the version. In the standard version, the car was 4.7 meters long and 1.86 meters wide. The car did not have a permanent armament. About 12,000 vehicles of this type were built during the production process.
Kfz.15 was developed by the Horch company for the needs of the German armed forces, primarily for use in communication units. The car, although it had a relatively high-power engine, did not perform well in the field because of its too much weight and long wheelbase. Despite this, it was accepted into service and was used in the Wehrmacht as a transport car, a staff car, but also a vehicle used by senior German officers. Of course, it also played the role of a specialist radio communication vehicle (German: Funkkraftwagen). Vehicles of this type were intensively used, especially at the beginning of World War II, including: during the campaign in France (1940), in North Africa (1941-1943) or on the Eastern Front (from 1941).
Nebelwerfer (German: fog thrower) are German multi-lead missile launchers with a caliber of 150-320 mm, from the period of World War II. The main purpose of this weapon was a massive attack on enemy surface targets, e.g. infantry groups. It played a similar role as the Soviet BM-13 Katyusha. The first, produced on a large scale, was the 15-cm Nebelwerfer 41 launcher (15-cm Nb. W. 41), developed in 1937-1939. Its maximum range was 6700m. in 1940, an improved version was created, based on the Schweres Wurfgerat 40 frame, firing 280mm and 320mm rounds. It was characterized by incredible ease of use and the use of wood in the frame of the weapon. A year later, the Nebelwerfer 41 was built, which was placed on a two-wheeled, towed bed, which significantly improved mobility and combat efficiency. It fired 280mm and 320mm rounds. From 1943, a 30 cm Nebelwerfer 42 with 300 mm rounds was produced. In the same year, the 15-cm Panzerwerfer 42 was also built. It consisted of 10 guides mounted on a Maultier half-track vehicle.
