I was thinking the same thing. The German aircraft mine shell,
minengeschoss, was a thin-walled round with a high-explosive charge. I'm thinking the relation of
minenmunition to SH4 is an HE round, because it is described in the interrogation reports as having an impact fuse. Conversely, the AA rounds have a proximity fuse.
BTW, anyone find it interesting the 105 mm gun loadout included anti-aircraft
(zonenmunition) rounds?
