High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Panzergranate 39 or Pzgr. 39 was a German armor-piercing shell used during World War II. It was manufactured in various calibers and was the most common anti-tank shell used in German tank and antitank guns of 50 to 88 mm calibers.The shell was of APCBC-HE-T construction meaning that it consisted of the shell body fitted with penetrating and ballistic caps, an explosive filler and a tracer unit that was incorporated into the base fuze. Phlegmatized PETN or RDX were commonplace as the explosive filling. Pzgr. 39 was only used in guns firing fixed ammunition. Exactly the same Pzgr. 39 shells of a certain caliber could be fitted to different cartridge cases. For example the 7.5 cm Pak 40 L/46 antitank gun and the 7.5 cm KwK 40 L/48 tank gun fired the same projectile, even though they had completely different cartridge cases.
