Re: What is a B-Granate
It could perhapes be:
Brand-Gr - Brandgranate: incendiary shell
Blank would usually refer to swords, bayonets etc:
Bl. Waff - blanke Waffen - armes blanches (bayonet and other cutting weapons)

Re: What is a B-Granate
Hello Richard !
My assumption is, that this term would refer to a :
BL-Granate [official designation]
Such a Blindladungs-Granate or Blinde Granate had exactly the same weight (14,81 kg)
as a normal Spreng-Granate, but had no explosive power (in that sense it was blind).
(The example is for a leichte Feldhaubitze 10,5 cm)
Instead the grenade was filled with a mixture of bituminous tar and baryte.
[This is according to : Fritz Hahn, Waffen und Geheimwaffen des dt. Heeres, p. 148]
Best regards,
hero.
