That is a great box. Cardboard ones are tough to find. It looks like it is for the German D.Z.35 Mine Fuze. -

The box seems to be for boostercharges, for the Zündladung 41.
I never seen these for real, but out of the series of boosters, this must have been placed under a fuze mechanism that provided flash, not detonation.
This Zundladung41 is the first detonating component in the shell after the fuze. See drawing attached.
The booster contains a detonator 3801, see 2nd pic attached. Around it it is filled up with NP.10 high explosives.
The box might have served from factory up to gun positions I guess.Comment
