German ammunition 4

Post by Sg8498. 13 »

Rauchspurpatrone Rot

Artifices having been used partly by the Luftwaffe and aiming to mark a ground, to communicate with a device at low altitude, etc ...
These had to be fired at a very flat angle so that the smoke dissipated as little as possible with the wind.
Their introduction into the army would date from 1940 but this without any certainty given the lack of documentation of time that has been identified.


Smoke-like artifact composed of a case of 83mm light alloy and a base with smooth bead and a waxed cardboard cover with 4 red squares arranged in a cross .. The case receives as marking 4 red stripes a width of 1cm while the base can be marked either 4 red bands every 90 degrees, or a cross of the same color where only the center would remain original. On this type of projectile, the name of the cartridge, the year of production, and the manufacturer are affixed in black. The effect is 4 red smoke trail about 60 meters.
