As we're off to Denmark at the end of the week and today is part of the anniversary of this battle fought between Danes and Germans in the 2nd Schleswig War I thought I'd post this clip of a comedy routine on hand grenades from a Danish tv show by the look of it - don't worry about the language - you don't need to speak Danish to get the punchline. Apparently the Battle of Dybbøl is celebrated every 18th April in period uniforms. Also see http://www.1864.dk/The battle saw the use of espingols - a Danish secret weapon that did pretty well.
