THE B- PATRONE 8 MM
These 5 round of B-Patrone 8 MM were used by the German snipers in WW11 only on the Eastern front as by Janurary 20 by the Fuhrer. They only were to be used on the Eastern front and then turned in if they were sent to other units on the Western front. But i am sure that some were used on the Western front. They were only to be used by snipers.
The sniper was issued 20 rounds of B-Patrone and 90 SS cartridges.
After the war ended the US military tested the B-Patrone and found to be a excellect design. Also the US trials tested the B- patrone for hazard potential. The B- Patrone was dropped from 15 to 30 feet on a steel plate, The bullets were bent, but none would detonate. Each case is marked AM 42 21 S *
Not only was this round used in aircarft but found its way in the fox holes on the Eastern front.
To little to late..
