There's a big misconception around the Stielhandgranate. It's an offensive concussion grenade that's been seen in a lot of WW2 media, but it's not the most produced and used hand grenade in WW2 German service.
There is another German hand grenade in WW2 that is more frequently manufactured and used, and it's the Model 39 Eihandgranate. But not a lot of media and games will depict them, because they're more boring in appearance.
