Sharing again. Just found my first German round from WWII. HE for the Pak 38 or Mark III tank. Notice the steel driving band.

Re: WWII German 50mm HE Round
Just a few weeks after I found the projectile, the casing fell out of the sky. It is steel. The PAK 38 was a monster compared to the French and Japanese 47mm's. It was probably on par with the British 6 pounder (57mm) for armor penetration. German stuff is just not as pretty as Japanese ammunition - much less shiny brass.
