Original German WWII BK-2H Blendkörper Frangible Chemical Smoke Glass Grenade - Inert British Artwork & Posters The King's Own Royal LancasterOriginal Item: Only One Available. Incredibly rare excellent example of the second model Blendkrper (Blinding Device) BK 2H, introduced in 1943 as an anti tank weapon. It consists of a heavy glass bottle with a smaller glass vial nested inside. The dual bottle arrangement kept two chemical solutions separated. The Blendkrper were thrown against tanks, smashing the glass containers allowing the chemicals to mix creating a spontaneous volatile reaction.
