Hi Sturm

The men in the photo look like German Field Police not army.

Here is a fully operational one that you can shoot out in West Texas.

I drove a Leopard 1A4 tank out there 3 days ago. Experience of a lifetime!

Hi,

In the Festung Guernsey volumes there are 3 types of ammunition shown for the 2.5cm Pak (f). Two are standard Pzgr (one with tracer) but the third is a 6.6cm Schießb.Pzgr. Anybody know what this is and what it looks like?

Regards,
Malcolm

Sounds like a 6,6 cm Schießbecher-Panzergranate HL; A HEAT shell to be launched from a cup launcher. A cup launcher was projected for the 2 cm Flak 38; https://www.yumpu.com/de/document/read/ ... cm-hlgr-43 but have never heard of a version for the French 2,5 cm; A Stielgranate was reportedly developed but a Schießb.Pzgr. (let alone in use) is news to me.
