tracer (high explosive) shell


Explanation:
spårljus = tracer
spränggranat = high explosive shell

Had trouble finding anyone using the full Swedish term altogether though. One site mentioned "Spårljusspränggranat" in a catalogue of Swedish WWII munitions and suggested it had a corkscrew appearance (I presume when fired). But I couldn't find any definitive sources

"sporlysgranat" is a "tracer shell" and "sprenggranat" a "common shell" in my Norsk-engelsk militær ordbok (ed. Olav Ark).
