Synopsis

This is an colour illustrated compendium of all shell in use by the German Army in early 1916. It was compiled from actual examples of the shells and from German pamphlets describing the use the shells were to be put to.Each shell, and there are many, is described in the text and (almost always) with a coloured scale drawing of the shell itself. The calibres range from the 3.7cm and its variations through to the 42cm heavy shell. It also includes gas and shrapnel shells and mortar projectiles.The introduction is a table of all shells used with a description of their basic colour, the German name for the shell, and an index reference within the book.Included in this reprint are the various amendments (23 in all) which were issued after publication of this basic manual, each amendment following the structure of the main book. Thus there are many more coloured illustrations.The description of the shells is extremely detailed, and includes a section on 'Employment' - where and when the German gunners would fire that particular shell, and there is a section on Remarks, which is very important.
