Rockets in Berlin

[bootstraps]

HI,

Have been reading an account from Willi Rogmann regarding fighting in Berlin from Tony Le Tissier's book with our backs to Berlin,
In his account he mentions the use of large Rockets that they found in cellar. These rockets were carried out by 8 men to a rocket in a wooden crate, set up and fired on Schiesischer Station area.

Never heard of this type of weapon, can anyone shed any light on to what these might be

Regards

Probably 28/32cm nebelwerfer 41:

Or maybe the 30 cm Wk 42 Spr? It weighted 157 kg with its wooden crate, so as many as 8 men carrying it could be almost reasonable here, although it's still a kind of a crowd.
28/32 cm Wk weighted around 110-120 kg with a wooden crate, so 2 to 4 men should be more than enough.
