I would like to ask what does the following phrase mean?
"Minengeschoss Übung ohne Zerleger"
WOW,I think your translation is probably correct. This is the researcher's description of the original text: Tar filled practice mine shell, made of a pressed and rolled steel body with a zinc nose piece to replace the fuse The driving band is made of red copper and on the inside of the body is an aluminium support ring at the same height as the driving band. Note typical Mineshell round bottom that ensures an maximum explosive charge if used in HE role.The phrase "Minengeschoss Übung ohne Zerlege" is a noun.
Minengeschoss (Minengeschoß) - fragmentation/explosive cartrige/bullet/shell/ammunition
Übung - training/ practice
ohne - without
Zerleger - self-destructor/ self-destruction unit/ self-destroying fuze
So the translation should be - a practice explosive shell without the self-destruct fuze.
JA!Thank you for providing the original link of this researcher!
Yes, when speaking it (or sounding it out when typing), be sure that you sound angry...Is there some magic formula for the German language?
ja.German gives people an aggressive impression(German is certainly not one of the "Romance" languages.

A few Mk 108 rounds and link.
It is an essential requirement of Advance Primer Ignition guns, because of the way they work. From my book Autocannon:Interesting that they use a rebated rim, ala the .284 Winchester and the .458 SOCOM.
Thank for that information. As a shooter and handloader, rebated-rimmed cartridges not uncommon in my experience. They are generally used to mate a common bolt head size to a cartridge with a larger base to gain powder capacity.It is an essential requirement of Advance Primer Ignition guns, because of the way they work. From my book Autocannon:
"A few cases have seen service with rebated rims, i.e. with a rim of smaller diameter than the case. This is essential in API blowback cannon that fire while the cartridge is still moving, because it allows the bolt and its extractor claw to follow the case into an extended or hooded chamber. This ensures that the cartridge is fully supported at the instant of firing."
The API blowback was invented in Germany just before WW1. The first production cannon using this system was the 20mm Becker. After WW1 the design was developed further, ultimately by Oerlikon of Switzerland, who made three different versions of 20mm cannon, varying in cartridge power. The German 20mm MG-FF was developed from these. Rheinmetall Borsig designed and made the 30 mm MK 108, and was testing a 55 mm version at the end of WW2. Japan also experimentally made a 30mm Oerlikon type.
The API blowback is very simple in design, and very rugged in use. Vast numbers of 20mm Oerlikons were made in WW2, mostly in naval mountings for the USN and RN.
