That's interesting. I did not know that the Germans were making steel cased ammo at that time.

I presume this was done because of scarcity of brass during wartime.

When did steel cased small arms ammo get started and by whom? By this I mean "mass produced small arms ammunition" and not isolated early experiments or artillary shells.
