Is it a bomb or a HVAR rocket???
Dear all, you ma by interested in what it was found near the town of Domazlice, Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia during WWII): 0.50 bullets and cartridges from U. S. fighters strafed various ground targets in this area in April 1945. Please take also a look at the subject in the middle - this doesn't seem to be a German SD-50 bomb. Is it a HVAR head??? What do you think?
Regards, Filip

just by estimating scale in contrast w/.50 cal next to it - looks like about 50mm and too small for US or Brit HVAR .
Then it should be either Soviet or German AT round of some kind but nose shape not optimal for that either.
