Video Description
Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, Germany was the world leader in land mine warfare, deploying some 35 million mines during the Second World War and developing mine designs and doctrines that remain influential to this day. In this video, I visit the Royal Canadian Artillery Museum in Shilo, Manitoba to look at some of these iconic mine designs. 0:00 Intro 1:58 Tellermine 29 / ZDZ 29 Fuze 4:12 Tellermine 35 / Tellermine 42 5:28 Tellermine 43 6:41 Defusing Tellermines / T.Mi.Z 43 Fuze 8:51 Unusual Tellermine Variants 9:36 Tellermine Copes 9:56 Riegelmine 43 13:04 Hohl-Sprung Mine 4672 / Panzerstabmine 43 13:59 Minimal-Metal Mines 14:30 B-Stabmine 14:46 Holzmine 42 15:56 Topfmine A/B/C 18:12 S-mine 19:52 The “Step off the Mine” Myth 21:11 S-Mine Copies 21:38 Behelfs-Schutzenmine S.150 / W-1 22:58 Stockmine / Betonmine 23:12 Schu-Mine 42 24:00 Flaschenmine / Glasmine 43 25:11 Outro Depth Charge Video: https://youtu.be/-dZTSooyYYg SOURCES: Croll, Mike, The History of Land Mines, Pen & Sword Books, Barnsley, UK, 1998 https://stephentaylorhistorian.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/op-1666-german-explosive-ordnance-volume-1.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20160304074707/http://www.lexpev.nl/fuzesandigniters/germany/tmiz43.html http://michaelhiske.de/Allierte/USA/TManual/5_223C/Teil_02/Kap05/Section03/PAR033.HTM http://michaelhiske.de/Allierte/USA/TManual/5_223C/Teil_02/Kap05/Section04/PAR036.HTM https://tiger1.info/EN/S-mine-controls.html https://books.google.ca/books?id=stugAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA76&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false https://web.archive.org/web/20080627015631/http://www.lexpev.nl/downloads/dontgetkilledbyminesandboobytraps.pdf
