Default GebaltenGranate?

dear fellow gamers

i'm not into fiddling about with language details, but
the famous german makeshift A/Tk device made up of several
hand grenades bundled together was actually known as
"Geballte Ladung", which roughly translates
as 'concentrated charge', whereas the demo/satchel charge
used by assault pioneers would translate as "Sprengladung".

no big deal but as a native speaker of german, i couldn't
resist this one...

cheers and thanks for all the amazing work

jan
