Default Re: German Cluster Bomb Units

An interesting fact about these SD-2 "splitterbombe" was their tendancy to hang up on the racks when the pilots went to drop them. Only when the aircraft slowed down and the air pressure around them was reduced (as in about to land), would they finally drop off the racks. Would give the pilots good reason to make a low speed pass somewhere other than a friendly airfield
thaught it may be of some interest
