Captured SU 76 with German ammunition
Improved armor plate penetration resulted, making the SU 76 more dangerous to opposing tanks.

Re: Captured SU 76 with German ammunition
It seems that the document is speaking about some sort of modification of using a Pak 36 (r) on a T70 chassis. Sort of a Buete-Marder.
Re: Captured SU 76 with German ammunition
The Geschossringbuch of German ammo shows a 7,62cm Pzgr. 39 of 7.1 kg and 7,62cm Pzgr. 39 rot of 7.6 kg.
