The anti-tank rounds were made out of it and caused all kinds of problems with the returning vets. In one case, the dust was over everything and when the soldiers returned to Germany returned with it.

It is twice as heavy as lead, so just a small amount in the metal makes a round that can penetrate tank skins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
