Moving Up and Down Stairs
Staircases are the only obstacles in interiors on which you can safely use a
German (contact) hand grenade. Move very slowly to the edge of the stairs and
throw the hand grenade on either the stairs or the landing (Fig. 41). Don’t stick
your head out! After the explosion, creep carefully to the edge accompanied by
two members of the team (to provide cover).
The same method illustrated in Figure 41 applies for going up the stairs (see
Fig. 42). Don’t ever throw a grenade directly onto the stairs if you still want them
to be there for you to use!
In case of emergency, you can use British hand grenades equipped with a
timing device, but be careful as they could roll down the stairs!
Using Hand Grenades and Explosives
Hand Grenades
During fights in interiors, use only British hand grenades, except for some
specific situations. To throw one around a corner, bounce it off a wall.
Mines
Mines are not very effective in interiors. It is possible to create various traps,
but as the skirmishes take place very fast, mines are not really the best way of
eliminating the enemy.
Timed Charges
This type of explosive is suitable for destroying specific targets, not for direct
fighting.
Bazookas and Panzerfausts
If you’re not one hundred percent sure of what you are doing, don’t use these
weapons indoors-you could bring the whole building down around you.
Tips
• Before going on individual jaunts, plan precisely and don’t forget the rest
of your team... Only cooperation with the other members of the team will
lead to success.
• Submachine guns and hand grenades dominate indoor combat.
• Provide cover for the rear of the group.
• None of standard situations are all-round fixes. Improvise!
