Hello everyone, I need some help with the identification of this German 8,8cm Flak projectile.That is now the third of this kind found in Switzerland on mountain shooting range in about 2600m altitude. I guess we me made trails with 8,8cm AA gun some years ago.
More interesting is the type of projectile, it has a massive bottom screwed in. It looks almost like a tracer. In 2005 some “experts” placed an explosive charge on the body, the result was the body just cracked open. Apparently no explosive material were inside.
The one wefound couple weeks ago I was able to safe.
The images of the video scope showed an empty internal pipe going from the fuze to thebottom. The body is still in ok condition, there is some red paint left on the top part.
I hope someone out there can help me with this mystery.
