Time fuze technical report 1945

Hallo @MINENAZ 16,
Thank you for uploading this very nice report, which I knew. I just reread it and there is a lots of real interesting technical info that is used up to this day. And the info that 1000 german AA rounds were fired for 1 direct hit on a B17 or B24. 1000 rounds of 88mm and larger. Thats a lots of ammo. To be effective, an AA shell had to detonate not more than 4m around the plane. 3000 time fuzed shells were needed for 1 bomber, this was brought down to 900 per bomber for the new combination fuze. Some designs shown here, I have never seen. But, one thing puzzles me, not one word even mentions the longest (1926-1945) and largest german development of the El.Zt.Z. S/30
Regards,
Bellifortis.
