That would be a joke. Put some cookies in your mother in law's coat and than let the dog of the leash. Give your mother in law a 100 mtrs go ahead (for your own safety of cource)

At last someone has found a useful purpose for poodles!

This is no joke. This mine was used in the most difficult time at the front - in 1941

The Russians trained the dogs by getting them used to finding food under tanks ,the only problem been they were trained under diesel engined Russian tanks and most German tanks used petrol and the dogs didnt like the different noise .Saying that the Germans put a order out saying any dogs found in the front line were to be shot immediatly ,so they must have taken them seriously

I was taught that the Germans also used the dog the same way. Perhaps that engineered the tilt rod fuze.

Were you aware that the Russians had two different models (brown dog and gray dog)? Photos taken at the Engineer Museum, St. Petersburg.

The one with the tilt rod is well documented. Any info on the other one?

[US-Subs]

Afraid not, I'd never seen it before and was very surprised to find it at the museum - either one actually. I thought it was worth a photo, but no other info was available. Haven't seen it in any of my documents either. Afraid that "Brown Dog Model" is the best I can do. Perhaps one of our Russian colleagues can assist?

I studied pelnty of Russian sources and never came across this one.
