    Air dropped German G-mines

    Who has information about the live of the battery pack of the German G-mines (LMA & LMB)?

    I think these battery packs are dead after 65 years or more.

    Normally, yes, but would you trust them? I wouldn't.

    you can ask Spotter but I believe 33 RE/EOD treats them as live and performs the required RSP.
