Re: Anti-submarine warfare
Reviving an old thread, they did have Flieger [or Flugzeug?) Wasser Bomben in various calibres:
Fl.W.B. 150 570 mm long x 450 mm diameter, 150 kg overall/c. 60 kg explosive charge
Fl.W.B. 190 570 x 450 mm, 190 kg overall (as above but with c. 125 kg charge)
Fl.W.B. 190 m.S. 730 x 450 mm with extension »Schale« (shell or cup?) "due to the dropping equipment", 195 kg overall.
Guidelines for their use had apparently been issued in a document of November 1941.
