88mm FLaK brass case. (Special)

[Waffenamt]

Here is an example of quite a special round that was issued to FLaK units during ww2.

Not often seen as its a barrel clearing case. Was cardboard capped with an extra charge to shift a lodged projectile. Marked 'Aush',which stood for 'Aushliff' or similar i believe? Only a few were issued to a group of batteries.

 

Picture 3 alongside a standard 88 case. Pic 4 is a close up of the necks,note the difference as the special did not carry a projectile.
