Gavris what exactly was happening when this insiduous 'granatgomb' occured? If you provide details I shall dillegently pursue the miscreant phrase. Remember...We are all in this together! regards, sven

That is what I figured. I am trying to get Gavris to leave more detailed data when he graces us with a query. Thanks for the info. regards, sven [ July 02, 2001: Message edited by: sven ]

Well, we never covered 'granatebomb' in my 10th grade conversational German class. The teacher only went as far as assault guns: (teacher) "Has du mein Brummbaer?" (kids reciting in unison) "Nein ich laube dein Brummbaer nicht" Forgive the spelling; it was over 20 years ago.

*That's* where I saw that word before: the Thunder at Banya Pass scenario. Hungarians vs Soviets.

Gavris... You can change the spelling with the oob editor. It may take us a while to get to it. Best of luck. regards, sven

Easy, turbo. Obviously, English is not his first language. As someone who's had to explain military concepts in Russian, Finnish and German (not at the same time thank God) I empathize with him. Garvis, keep right on posting your questions, God bless ya...

Hey I was not slamming him. It can take a while to answer Gavris. Language barrier or no he could learn to leave more data. Running in to the room and asking the most general questions I have ever seen can make figuring out how to answer a chore. I don't mind a bit though. We are all here to help(I hope). regards, sven

Without many jokes, words or funny answers.....please. Probably it was intended to a hand grenade ? A german name ? But no german dictionary didn't have it ! And isn't any german on forum to explain that ? I guess it is somelike granate + bomb ! But, why was this added ''bomb'' word ? Please, you' german folks, make a clarity about subject. Leo.

Gavris, it's NOT German, it's Hungarian apparently.

Gavris I have a question for you. How was 'what was the unit doing?" a funny thing or a joke. If you had told me an infantry assault I could have told you. I beg of you please have more data when you ask a question. regards, sven p.s. e-mail warhorse it is his entry.

Status: offline 		The wonders of the internet. Granatgomb is in the Hungarian OOB, so search google for 'hungarian-english dictionary' put in gomb and find it means "button, stud, knob" So it would seem likely to be a wartime german/hungarian slang of some kind. Granat and gomb would seem to be some sort of "knob shell" or "button shell" - likely having to do with the shape perhaps like a doorknob? Makes sense dealing with a hand granade...
