Now the German bombs were (obviously) in metric, but these are in Imperial. So I'm trying to figure out what the above loadout is referring to, is it a:

1) 250kg bomb
2) 100kg bomb

The reason I ask is that whenever I see German ords being talking about in Imperial measurements, you always see "550lbs" or "110 lbs". I believe those are actually more accurate numbers.

Yeah, I know (I'm a cannuck), but then...

This means 250 pounds with 100 pounds of warhead. If we work back that means that it's 90kg or so with 40kg of explosive. They didn't have bombs of that size.

Did they name them for their overall weight, or explosive weight?
