Capacitance based fuses became highly developed after the second

world
war due to their high resistance against jamming techniques.

It is unlikely that the shell could have been easily degraded by
jamming or chaff. (unlike the Allied shell).


What would have happened if the proximity fuse was not abandoned in
1940 but development continued such that it entered service in 1943?

The Allies would have developed specific ways of jamming the fuse -
nothing is unvulnerable
