Hello,

I'm looking for the German nomenclature (designation number) of the French shell 25mm HE-T with SD fuze ("2.5cm Spgr l'spur mit zerl. (f)"- "obus de 25mm explosif traceur a autodestruction modele 1939").

Regards.
 
Hi Minenaz16,
All i have on this is a drawing from the Technical Ammunition Guide by P. Labbett, hope it helps.
Best regards Weasel.

Thank you Weasel.
The diagram shows a german made round with german fuze.
German used french made rounds too and I think they used a special number for designation like other ammunitions. My documentation starts from 3.7cm.

In manual D50/8a is listed some 25mm ammunition.
But only AP and TP rounds.
