SD 250

The SD 250 (also written as SD250) refers to a German aircraft bomb used during World War II. "SD" stands for Sprengbombe Dickwandig, which translates to "High-Explosive Bomb, Thick-Walled". The "250" indicates the nominal weight of the bomb, approximately 250 kilograms.

The SD 250 was a general-purpose bomb designed for a variety of targets, including buildings, infrastructure, and shipping. Its thick casing provided substantial penetration capabilities, allowing it to inflict considerable damage even when hitting fortified structures. It was deployed extensively by the Luftwaffe throughout the war.

Variations of the SD 250 existed, featuring different fuzes and slight modifications to the casing or explosive filling. The bomb was often dropped in conjunction with other types of bombs to maximize the effectiveness of air raids.
