DM Gerat

Here my German DM-Gerat ( Drehmoment Gerat = Torque device ) used to remove fuzes from British aerial bombs.
It has a turbine powered by a black powder charge giving inertia to break the bomb fuze loose and unscrew it fast enought to avoid the anti-removal mechanism to explode the bomb.
This was found at Rechlin test plant and has Luftwaffe inspection markings.

Only just caught this thread, nice items, thanks for showing also T-Mine and MB.
