Japanese Report it is New Type of Shell Tokyo, May 21 Germany's "mystery weapons" of "which Chancellor Adolf Hitler has boasted since the start of the European war are believed to be two new types of shells especially designed for attacks against pillboxes and concrete fortifications, according to information reaching reliable quarters here from military experts in Ger-
One of the weapons was described as a "super-heat" shell which i fred from a specially designed gun and which causes such excessive heat on exploding that defenders are unable to remain in the vicinity. It was stated that the shell is far more formidable than the ordinary flame-thrower.
The other shell was said to have been designed after years of experimentation particularly for use against the Maginot Line. It is a shell it was understood, apparently containing some unknown chemical formula which penetrates concrete defences r a distance of several yards and dissolves the concrete immediately. making passage of trucks and tanks through the defences an easy matter.—Domei.
