Nebelwerfer means “Smoke Projector.”
Wikipedia translates it as “fog launcher”: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebelwerfer
“Fog thrower” would’ve been my naive translation attempt, akin to flame thrower = “Flammenwerfer”.

Fog thrower is the most literal translation. That would imply its primary purpose was shooting smoke grenades.
