How to unlock the Potato Masher achievement in Sniper Elite V2 Remastered - Definitive Guide
You can farm this achievement in Mission 3 - Kaiser-Friedrich Museum. In the mission you will get a new sniper rilfe. This point is automatically a checkpoint. From there go downstairs and out of the building and you will see in a distance 4 enemies who stands together in a row. One of these four enemies had always a grenade on the belt. (random every time!) Fire at the grenade. reload the checkpoint. Rinse and repeat until the achievement unlocks.

If you wait an extra 2 seconds an officer walk out with them & you get 5 for 1. Whether or not it’s worth the extra 2 seconds per run is debatable though.

This guide I have copied and pasted from here: *Credit to Converse*
*Only Grenades, Trip Mines, Land Mines and Dynamite count towards the achievement. Blowing up barrels, vehicles or any other type of "explosive" will count for an explosive kill, but it will not count towards the achievement.*
An easy way to "grind" this achievement is on the second to last mission called "Kopenick Launch Site". Right at the beginning of the mission there will be two enemies in front of you. One is walking forward and the other one is laying on the ground. Just throw a frag in the center of them and it will blow both of them up. Rinse and repeat until you get 100 explosive kills. You can check your stats in the Extras Menu of the game.

Kills with grenades, mines and dynamite all count for this achievement. Hitting a grenade on an enemy webbing also counts, and any enemy eliminated by the ensuing explosion counts as well. This should unlock naturally over the course of your campaign playthroughs if you use your explosives wisely.
During Mission 3, 'Kaiser-Friedrich Museum', after you acquire the Mosin Nagant rifle, exit the building and down the street to the right there will be four enemies standing there. One of them as a grenade on his belt. Shooting it will make it explode, killing all four enemies. You can then reload the checkpoint and repeat as necessary. If you haven’t unlocked it yet, using this method will also unlock Cooking Off (10G) as the distance is roughly 110 meters.
Note: Destroying vehicles with enemies in them does not count towards this achievement.
To see how many you have done, from the main menu, navigate to Extras then Career Stats. Press to highlight 'Single Player' then look for 'Explosive Kills'.

The trophy is cumulative, I got stuck on one of the missions because I had to constantly set a trap because they kept killing me after setting it.

kills with grenades, traps, mines are counted, and grenades exploded by a shot on corpses are also counted.
