German fuze WWI
- Thread starter silent knight
- Start date
Hello Pascal,
I Know this combination. Last year, on Somme battlefield, I found a fired 15cm Gr.14 fuzed with a HZ14 Vorst stamped 1915.
I think it's the same.
I could not find documentation on it. I called it "15cm Gr.14 umg". I assume the original fuze thread has been modified to receive a wider fuze.
Regards

Than you Sébastien
Never seen this configuration in my documents either
and I assume that it is also 6 mm shorter than a normal Gr. 14 to fit the diameter of the fuze without modifiying the shape of the projectile
