Hi,
I am looking for information on the 17cm Brandgranate 39 and 17cm Leuchtgeschoss.
The only data I have is the page from HDv 119/540. (please see pic attached)

Thanks, Bob.

Thank You orpheus,
If You look in the ringbuch Sprengladungen You will find the regular and L.S. charges for these projectiles. I am pretty sure that there were also Blind and Exerzier variants for the 17cm K.Gr 39 and 17 cm K.Gr. 38 (Hb). They would be listed in the manual D 420/453 which I do not have unfortunately.

My question was about the "combat" ammunition 17cm Brandgranate 39 and 17cm Leuchtgeschoss.

Bob
