ELAZ 55 German fuze

[wichitaslumlord]

Hello, Can anyone tell me what the "EL" in ELAZ stands for? Any information on the meaning of the other markings and what the cap says would be appreciated . THANKS! Pat

ELAZ stands for ELectrischer Anschlag Zunder or -translated- Electric impact fuze.
The text on the cap says: Remove cap and gasket before inserting the fuze into the bomb body
