Has it already possible been shown here, or has someone any details of a powder charge pellet used in German b.S.Mi.35 ( Bouncing Betty training mines )?
I've never heard or read something about that interesting question, Reino.
the mine itself doesn't show any trace of 'how to fix a practice charge'; but possibly picture No.3, a Sprengkrper 28 (200gr.) practice charge, could give some impression of a similar device used in the S.Mi.35 (b) and T.Mi.35(b) respectively?
That's right, I tried to screw an bungsladung 30 ( the same as used in hand grenades ) in this mine but it didn't fit.
T-mines have a special, large size training charge which also is shown in some old manuals. I think I posted a picture of such here earlier this year.
There was a special shaped wooden inlay, which fitted in the b SMi.35, and which contained a blackpowder charge - comparable to the training charge for b T.Mi.35. Unfortunately I have no pic :tinysmile_cry_t2:
