"explosive thick-walled 2 kg" is not a correct translation. thick walled would be "dickwändig" in german.
but Dickenwald is a part of the city of Saarwellingen and would translate into "fat forest"

To my surpise I found that the term 'fuze' seems to be correct although the dictionary suggests the spelling 'fuse'. I suggest either an indication to the correctness of the spelling or another linked wikipedia entry for the first occurence of 'fuze' in this text. Also one might argue that the proper term for 'removing a fuze' was 'defuze' rather than 'defuse'. But maybe all that's just due to a lack of intelligence (pun intended) in the military?
The article says a unexploded butterfly bomb was recovered in 1940, but then says that they were first used in 1942 against Grimsby and Cleethorpes. An earlier version says they were first used in 1940 against Ipswich, from the tone of the original changes to 1942 ( [1], and [2]) I think this may be some vandalism that was partially repaired and partially unrepaired. Are there any experts who know the definitive answer? Perhaps the raid on Grimsby and Cleethorps was the first time large numbers of them were used.-- HarryHenryGebel 21:49, 3 March 2007 (UTC) Read all about it :--- http://civildefence-suffolk.webeden.co.uk/#/ipswich-raid-no-10/4579245618 81.86.125.95 ( talk) 09:00, 20 May 2014 (UTC)Louis Musgrove
I don't have time to dig out the book to find the exact details, but these were also used during the German invasion of the USSR against airfields. When I have more time, I may add this to the article. Plumbob78 23:05, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Use in retaliatory nuisance raids against UK towns was a side show and the Luftwaffe couldn't have cared less about lack of british reports. The main field of employment of SD-2s was the east Front, where it was used massively. SD-2s were first used by simply dropping them from normal bomb bays during the 1941 invasion of the soviet union. While they were devastating to troop concentrations and parked aircraft, serveral bombers were lost because of tumbling bombs colliding immidiately after drop. This led to severe restrictions on use until a clamshell cluster bomb could be developed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JCRitter ( talk • contribs) 14:34, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
This article claims that the SD2 was specifically aimed at farmers, but the only source for this I could find was the book UXB Malta, a fairly unreliable source. The author is a folklorist, more interested in telling an interesting story rather than finding out a thoroughly researched fact. The fact that she refers to the North Africa Campaign as the Middle East says a lot about her expertise.
These are my reasons for disbelieving this claim:
I am planning on rewriting a large part of this article, making it more in line with other weapon articles, with an infobox and more information from the following:
I also think it would be best to change the title of the article to SD 2 (German bomb), as I know of no other article using a nickname as its title.
