Hello,

Does anyone could explain why German changed designation of same fuzes.
For example DoppZ91 could be marked DoppZ 91 or DoppZ C/91 or DoppZ K/91 (what mean C and K ?).

Regards

it simply means "Construction" / "Konstruktion". Spelling changed at this time. There were some years of parallel usage until the "K" replaced the "C". Today we still use the "K" for such words. So if there is a "K" or "C" or nothing - it doesn't change anything regarding the fuze mechanism.
