Hello,

Who has a good picture or drawing of one of the following mines that has been used by the Germans during WW-2? I want to use them in a book that I am writing about the demining in the Netherlands by German POW's during 1945-1947.

V.B. Mine
Granatmine 27 cm
Granatmine 7,65 cm
Holzkastenmine 42 / Holzmine 42
Holzmine 35
Schreckladung
Spanndrachtmine
V.S.u.T. Mine
V.S. Mine 35

 
Try pictures from the manuals them you have an idea how they work and how dangerous they can be to disarm.
 
Mine VB Mi 1

Best that I have it's almost the same design of the Wooden Box Mine 42 which I will post latter today with detailed drawing
