sWG40 indeed (wooden mounting frame - Wurfgestell 40) with the possible types of casing for the rockets themselves: wooden frame on the 1st picture and steel frame on the 2nd.

Its just my opinion. Cant understand why one should have loads of ebaytreads. Why not keep them in one tread.

Nice pictures, Sturm78.

There is a small wire on the top picture that goes from a small wooden pole to each rocket and at least to another pole. Is it the ignition wire?

Yes, it's the Gluehzuendkette - four igniters with different delay trains, launching a rocket every 2 s after a single electrical impulse.

Thank you very much, Grzesio.

Amazing!
Where this particular launcher comes from?
It seems to be complete, as opposed to the Moscow example.

[Cobrahistorian]

It's in my collection at the US Army Air Defense Artillery Museum.

Do you know the history (war and postwar) of this launcher?
I've never expected there was second Luftfaust preserved (except of a poor copy in the US).
