NOTES ON AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN FUSES 1917 With 1818 Addendum (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781474541831)

Prepared by the General Staff, War Office 1917, these "Notes" were put together from data provided by the Italian and Russian General Staffs, and from other sources, and come complete with the February 1918 Addendum.

Published during the Great War from information gained by MI3b, a division of the British Directorate of Military Intelligence that covered Austro-Hungary and Switzerland, this is a detailed compilation of the types and varieties of Austro-Hungarian shell fuses which plagued the Italian front. It should be noted at the Battle of Caporetto in 1917, the Austro-Hungarians and Germans used, as part of a huge artillery barrage, chlorine-arsenic agent and diphosgene gas shells.
