The Model 24 was a further simplification of the series of grenades that began in World War 1 with the Model 15 Stielhandgranate (which initially featured a loose pull cord, with a threaded cap screwed into the base of the shaft added to retain the cord after several unfortunate accidents) and progressed through the Model 16 Stielhandgranate and Model 17 Stielhandgranate. The primary change in the Model 24 was the elimination of the belt clip on the grenade's head, and less obviously it also got rid of the star-shaped grip on the base of the end cap.
The long handle allowed the Model 24 to be thrown significantly further than a standard grenade, at a cost of increased size and weight per grenade. Complaints about the relatively small blast radius led to the development of the Splitterring fragmentation sleeve in 1942.
The long handle and club-like head earned the weapon the nickname of "potato masher" among Allied troops. The structure of the grenade allowed for some unorthodox uses such as suspending grenades from barbed wire by their cords so that any disturbance would arm them, and the creation of the "Geballte Ladung" ("bundled charge") where six additional grenade heads were secured around the head of a central grenade with wire to create a powerful improvised demolition charge.
