28 cm HE Rocket -- infantry weapon ?!

I sort of see what he is trying to say, for 1 squad in the platoon to have is fine but the whole platoon lugging them around is probably a bit unusual. I have no idea though do think Germans went for making fireing of fast as possible even straight out of the crate.

I'll have to look for the site again, but I recall seeing a site with some really good pictures of those rockets in infantry use. Basically they used the same crate for all the missiles, the aiming end had a pair of rotating legs and it was prewired for the ignitor cicuit. The whole procedure was to set the crate on the ground, lift the aiming end to the right angle, set the legs, make connection to the ignitor circuit and fire.
