Re: Bombentorpedo (BT) series

Schießwolle was not gun cotton (Schiessbaumwolle) but NiNa.Az
According to Wikipedia (i know...): "Es handelt sich um eine gießbare Mischung aus 67 % Trinitrotoluol (TNT), 8 % Hexanitrodiphenylamin und 25 % Aluminium"
It was mainly used in (ship)torpedos and sea mines.
