Let's do another picture question, then!
1) What is this?
2) What was its purpose?
3) Why was it a complete failure?

It looks like there's some kind of rockets attached to it, so I suppose it's purpose is to move very high speed, if I'm right so far, the reason for it's failure is quite obvious: some rockets point in the other direction, and even if one would be operating at time, it's direction would change all the time.

The Grand Panmujom(?) or someting likewise.
It was a British Boffin invention designed to blow up enemy strongpoints, by firing a number of rockets.
It failed because it wasx impossible to control, and sone side would inevitably fail, leaving a big bomb effectiely spinning like a drunk step-child.

Atticus is on the right track with it's purpose. nonconformist is close when he says it was made by the British to attack enemy strong points, but the name isn't quite right, and you misunderstand the purpose of the rockets.
There was also a specific event that this was meant to be used at...

When the Germans were defending Tanga from British assault during WWI, they enlisted the help of some very odd mercenaries.

No, the germans were quite prone to using black people called Askari to fight in the colonies.
However, I think maybe the word "mercenaries" was a bit misleading; these participants were unaware of their role in the battle.
