Bomb, ground Signal ,Flash
Box for a bomb, ground signal,flash as listed in the recognition handbook for German ammunition (april 1945)
Have found very little else apart from a reference in French of it being an explosive simulator device (electrically fired) for training use. One bomb per box. Best pic. I could find of the bomb itself - bit poor but at least it gives some idea of what it looked like.
Nice find!

Hi Jimbo,
Thanks you for having posted the pictures of your box. I now know that I'm not alone (and you too):

We took the pictures of the different colors at the Aberdeen Museum. I will see if I can find the images again and post them here.
