German 7,5 cm HEAT

[Antoon]

What is the weapon with which this German 7,5 cm HEAT shell with nose fuze A.Z. 38 St. and a tracer was fired.

Because it has a groove below the rotating band I think it should be cartridge ammunition and not separate loading ammunition like the 7,5 cm Infanteriegranate 38 HL/A. for the 7,5 cm leichtes Infanteriegeschütz 18. But the rotating band is similar to the ammunition of the 7,5 cm leichtes Infanteriegeschütz 18.

Thanks Chris,

So separate loading ammunition, but still missing the tracer.

Could it be the shell from the cartridge for the 7,5 cm Infanteriegeschütz 37, because this gun could also fire the ammunition that was used with the 7,5 cm leichtes Infanteriegeschütz 18.

On the wooden box stands: Patr. Le. I.G. 18 u 7,5 cm I.G. 37.

The abbreviation Patr. stand for Patronen (Cartridge).

As far as i know this is indeed a shell intended for the 7,5 cm Infanteriegeschütz 37, which was also suitable for the L.i.G 18.
I've added a 5 page report that describes the 7,5 cm Infanteriegeschütz 37 and on the last page the ammunition.

Cheers,

Under, thank you very much. Problem solved. Also the text explain a lot. HE ammunition for this gun = semi fixed, HEAT ammunition = fixed.

Hopefully someone has a picture that explain the tracer.
