The Petards
unknown, possibly Italian (Public domain), via Wikimedia Commons
Petards is a German musical group that emerged in 1964. The band's name references a historical military device—a compact explosive used during siege warfare for breaching fortifications. Originally developed in France during the late 16th century, these metal contraptions were filled with gunpowder and ignited by slow-burning fuses. By adopting this provocative name, Petards established an unconventional identity within the German music scene of the era.
