Hello,

I assume French rounds used by German during WW2.

-First : 25mm AP shot M1934 without tracer (black tip)
-Second : 25mm HE M1938 or M1939
-Third : 37mm AP shot M1938.

Regards

Hello,

the 25 mm AP shot are also found in the Netherlands where they where used by the Germans in WW2.

The HE projectile would have been loaded in the shorter case for the automatic anti-aircraft gun. The AP projectile would have been loaded in the longer rimmed case for the manually loaded anti-tank gun.
