marc leroux Posted 15 July , 2004 Share Posted 15 July , 2004 I was going through the August 1917 capture of Hill 70, and the Battalion diary states: "This coy came under MG and GRATENWERFER fire but overcame same in short time" What was GRATENWERFER?

marc leroux Posted 17 July , 2004 Author Share Posted 17 July , 2004 Obviously the man writing the report had no German heritage. He just mispelled it. marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
