What the previous poster was pointing out is that the manufacturing capabilities of Europe would be more than capable of handling this task, if any significant percentage were applied to it. As it is, ammunition for 155mm artillery pieces is not something that there’s usually a heck of a lot of demand for, so it makes up a vanishingly small percentage of overall production. And modern factories, because of how things are built now, are much, much harder to just switch over to making a different product. Even if they wanted to, Germany could not easily give over a significant portion of their national manufacturing capacity to shells without it taking years to do so.
