Need help to identify this Bullet

[T4USEND]

Hello.
Im very new to this Forum and would like to identify and maybe find some backstory about a found ammunition. Im really interested in war relics. It was found on the westcoast of France in the Bretagne. Im very thankful for every kind of information about this bullet.
I couldn't find anything about it online.


On the back it says 33 40 aux S*

AUX stands for Polte, Werk Magdeburg, Poltestr. u. Fichtestr.,Magdeburg, Germany

Hi mate!

The cartridge case (it's not a bullet but the casing that holds the propellant) is a standard 7,92 x 57 mm case that was used widely by the German forces in their rifles and machine guns. This model of cartridge is often called the "8 mm Mauser", you can find lots of information on it online! The markings tell us the following:

aux = manufacturer's code for Polte Armaturen und Maschinenfabrik A.G., Werk Magdeburg, Sachsen
S* = the material of the case, this code is for brass alloy with 72% copper
33 = lot number
40 = 1940, the year of manufacture

Hopefully this helped a bit, welcome to the forum as well!
