German cluster bomb

~~~

This photo shows either the german cluster bomb SD 1 or the SD 2. Those were the first cluster bombs ever to be used in military conflicts. The SD 1 was filled 360 small 1-kg bombs, the SD 2 with 180 2-kg bombs. These (nowadays prohibited) weapons were developed and used to destroy the concentrated soviet artillery and AT gun positions. The bombs effect was devestating.
