French depth charges request

[Yodamaster]

Hello everyone, it's been a while now since I've been on BOCN, my health prevented me, but I'm back.
I immediately take this opportunity to ask if anyone has any Doc about French depth charges and mainly that of 100 kg. Technical drawings, photos, tech info, everything is welcome.

Hello Yoda,
You have informations in MINE DISPOSAL HANDBOOK (French section)
I know theses charges were used by the Germans in your country (Belgium) as controled mines on beaches.

Thanks DreamK, yes, theoretically my health problem is behind me. I just have to, with my doc, monitor this crab to make sure it has completely moved ! Stupid squatter !
In view of the documentation received from you and MinenAZ, it is indeed a 100 kg which was found on a beach in Belgium this week.

Note that the US doc reversed pictures of 100kg and 200kg.
Yoda's picture and Dreamk's picture show a 100kg.
