I take these pictures in an ammunition collection. It shows the simulator DM 25 that the Bundeswehr used in the 60 and 70-ies. The simulator has a weight of 55 kg and contains 24 kg of black powder and 24 kg of a flash composition. Approx. 5 sec. after detonation a cloud is formed which reach an altitude of approx. 60 m.

Nice pictures. For the sake of completeness only: the long form on the pyrotechnic device means: "to be used until" followed by month and year.
I have never seen this object in action, but I would have liked to.
This load was obviously too exceptional even for the Bundeswehr. The successor model DM25A1B1 was reduced to an effective charge of 38.5 kg and the composition of the flash-smoke-powder was also changed, to make it less harmful to health (what also modified the color of the smoke).
