History

During World War II, the German military utilized various types of artillery shells, including the 7.5 cm (75 mm) caliber shells. These shells were commonly used in German tanks, anti-tank guns, and field artillery pieces.

A transit tube, also known as a transport container or shipping tube, was a protective casing used to transport and store artillery shells safely. It provided a secure and stable environment for the ammunition during transit, protecting it from damage and ensuring the safety of the personnel handling it.

The transit tube for a 7.5 cm shell would typically be a cylindrical metal container with a lid or cap on one end. The shell would fit snugly inside the tube, with padding or spacers to prevent movement and minimize the risk of impact or jostling during transportation.

These transit tubes were designed to withstand the rigors of transport and to protect the shells from moisture, dirt, and other environmental factors that could affect their performance. They were an essential part of logistics and played a crucial role in maintaining the readiness and effectiveness of German artillery units during World War II.
