Verplegungsbombe ?

[Brian]

Hi guys

Can anyone inform what Verplegungsbombe means?

I believe it may have something to do with food/supply drop.

Cheers

You missed out an "f": Verpflegungsbombe = ration bomb.
Same idea as Versorgungsbombe = supply bomb, parachute canisters carried on bomb racks.

Hi Brian,

thats correct. It means Dropping container for supplies. In german Mischlastabwurfbehälter.

I would suggest a separate thread or topic with a German-English vocabulary for those technical Luftwaffe-related terms.
