A question that I've been wondering about for a long time. What would happen with spent cartridge cases?
I noticed for example 2cm AA guns on Kriegsmarine ships had collection baskets. Surely so sailors would not slip on the spent cases. But would the baskets be tipped over the side or would the cases go back to Germany for reuse, as war-critical material?
We know from German wartime magazines that shot down aircraft recycled. So what about spent cases
Thanks!
