155 mm Propaganda Shell

[Andy Naude]

Saw this 155 mm "Propaganda" Shell today.Lettering states 155 mm LEAFLET BE. M2A1. Any more info on this shell would be welcomeWhich fuze would have been used with this shell?

 

[HAZORD]

It would need a Mechanical Time or Electronic Time fuze designed for use on 155 projos. A variety would work.

Typical Pamphets used in this type of projectile.



Four typical pamphlets that would have been used with this projectile.

Maybe one of the Portuguese speaking members could translate?

These were used by South Africa during the Angolan War.
