Default Re: Luftwaffe and concrete bombs?

I'm fairly certain they didn't...the reason I say this is that in 2003 in Iraq, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) armaments and ordnance personnel constructed a concrete bomb to use on Republican Guard tanks in the fighting for Baghdad to reduce civilian casualties. This was hailed and laughed at as a phenomenon, and no reference was made to the use of such munitions in other wars.

Hope this helps
