5 cm Pzgr. (St.K.)

[zünder]

The remains of a 5 cm Panzergranate mit Stahlkern for the 5 cm Bordkanone.

Does anybody have a complete version, what did the "Haube" look like ?

I wasn't aware that such ammo was used in the BK 5. All of the pictures and data I've seen feature the usual APC. Further details would be appreciated.

IIRC the BK 5 saw very little use in the anti-armour role anyway; they were mostly fitted to Me 410s for the anti-bomber role.

Hi Tony,

the only evidence i could find was in Manfred Stegmüller's "Von Flanschgeschossen und Wolframkernen".

Apparantly they did not exceed the experimental stage.

Up to now there are several different types of the steel cored once are known.
Will be very difficult to find factory drawings.
