waff means document 26/GS Publications/76... series
released 1942 by the War Office.

French Italian Russian German weaponnery and muntions in several parts.

 

[waffenamt]

According to the front cover,this document was released on 24th May 1945.
it says it is `pamphlet number 15`.
only german covered in this particular book.
i assume it was to help EOD back in the day?.

[Ammodillo]

that's possible..

However the Allied Forces had their OP and TM series.
The OP 1666 (TM 1885-2) for example contains German Explosive Ordnance part 1. Describing technical data and excluding EOD procedures.

Your Pamphlet describes packaging recognition.

I shall get a couple of pics up after the upgrade,it is a shame that this is a black-and-white copy as there are some top pics of proj`s and rounds.
