German and French soldiers improvise ‘hair brush’ grenades, hasty build of a small wooden plank with a stick, together with an explosive load surrounded with metal pieces, and a wick and detonator ignition system.
On the German side, this concept seems so seducing that it is developped to give birth to the famous family of the stick grenades (‘Stielhandgranaten’) that will be, for both of the XXth century world wars, THE german grenade in the public collective mind.”
