Basically you have a fluid of acetone and benzene and it sounds like in this case some uranium to make bubbles in the fluid. Sound waves then pop these bubbles which results in high pressures and temperatures localized in these tiny bubbles. Maybe thousands of degrees or more, but at a really tiny point in the fluid. This energy and pressure allows two hydrogen atoms to fuse together and make a helium plus a neutron. Something like that......

fliegerabwehrkanone- "air defense cannon" = AA gun 
Schutzenpanzerwagen= "assault armored wagon" = APC
