A German aerial bomb?

[AKON_]

AKON,
I found it but I don't know where I get it from.

Hi LEAFLET :
Many thanks.
I have the impression that some pages from this series—specifically two pages (definitely for the SD 1)—have already been posted here. (Nabob)
This sample confirms my initial assumption—it comes from the same series.
By the way, from the 30s onwards, General Marqart was the mastermind behind the planning for bombs, fuzes, and the like, and his signature appears there as well... Dreamk surely knows more about this gentleman.

Hey AKON! might have something for you!

Hi Fusse 2004 , Also, a big thank you.
I haven't encountered this type before.The external connection for 6 wires caught my eye—assuming my assessment is correct.At the bottom, there appear to be two power sources (batteries)—I wouldn't guess it to be a capacitor.Are there no markings on the casing? Logically speaking, for a bomb, there seem to be an awful lot of sensors... unless it’s not for a conventional bomb, but rather for a missile with a bomb bay—something along the lines of the Hs 293 or its derivatives—which would actually make some sense. That’s just a working hypothesis, of course.This is another type I can't currently categorize.In any case, it is definitely not an eAZ 55 A; the eAZ 55 A features two insulated, wire-braided leads extending from the front of the fuze body, not the side.I recall seeing a photo of that type—the eAZ 55 A—somewhere online, though I likely won't be able to find it again.The drawing you provided depicts something different; I don't yet know what it is.Gentlemen, does anyone have any insights regarding the type shown in the drawing—even if it’s just a working theory? I’d be very interested to hear your thoughts.

Sorry! But ever since I stopped focusing on this hobby, things have gotten a bit mixed up. I found this among my records. This fuze was discovered in Röchlin. I held onto it for about 3 years, then I liquidated my collection. Those were the days—back when "Harry’s Fuze Corner" (*Harryszünderecke*) existed. That was a long time ago.

Thank you for dedication to this search, I truly appreciate it. He who makes no mistakes, doesn't really live. I see 5 fingers, think of 6, and end up writing 4.

The English text suggests the possibility (or hypothesis) that this Spez. Zunder 25 D was used for a 'floating balloon bomb' intended for use against landing craft. Presumably, the balloon—aided by the tide—could transport the bomb into shallow water near the shore. In that case, the number of impact fuzes might be high enough to cover every direction. I think it would be worth looking into projects under the following names later on: Sommerballon, Winterballon, Wasserballon... we'll see what we find..."

Here are the ones that have a description in the form of a formal specification. However, even among those "officially adopted into service," there are variants for which these descriptions are insufficient....
