Thanks Herb, I appreciate the info and the axis forum link. I'll give that a try. I had found out that there was an assault battalion by that name in 1919, but not much info on the battalion itself and/or who or what was "Henschkel" or "Heushkel" (which is correct, or are there two?). What I would like to know is who or what was Henschkel/Heuschkel and if this meinenwerfer unit had its origins in WWI and carried over into the Weimar era or if it was formed post-war.
