Thought I would share some images off a German Igniters and Booby-Trap board at Abdereen Ordnance Museum.

Also looking to confirm nomenclatures. According to Lex's site the yellow colored one is the same as the blue and red ones. However, as you see in the image they have it labeled differently. Any idea why?
