IIRC, Speer's autobiography stated something to the effect that with the end of the German atomic bomb programme, 1200 tons of uranium ore was made available to replace wolfram (tungsten) in sub-calibre anti-tank gun ammo, because the wolfram was needed to make machine tools. Whether any such ammunition was actually made remains the subject of controversy. Several years ago I recall hearing that a PzGr.40 anti-tank gun projectile (5cm I think) had been found which was radioactive.
Does anyone have any firm information about this, one way or the other?
