Sextons?

I really don't think that Sextons equipped an anti-tank unit. Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:32, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right.--EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 11:05, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Translating Werfer Brigade

While 'Werfer' literally means 'projector', is this the most appropriate translation to use? After all, 'Abteilung', which literally means department, has been sensibly translated as 'Battalion'. My understanding was that such Brigades were equipped with multi-barrelled rocket launchers, such as the 15cm Nebelwerfer 41 and 21cm Nebelwerfer 42, so wouldn't Rocket Brigade or Rocket Launcher Brigade be a more descriptive translation? [I know the earliest Nebelwerfers were 10cm mortars, akin to the british and us 4.2" mortars, but these started being replaced by rocket launchers in 1941].

PS Surely 'Flak' is almost as well known as 'Panzer' so why translate it?Glevum (talk) 16:55, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I might be wrong, but I believe it is the title used by the source.
