Hi all,

This bomb fuzes was used for tle Legion Condor in the Spanish Civil War in bombs of 50 kilos.


I hope they enjoy them, and If somebody wants, I can photograph some detail...

A greeting

hi guys I stand corrected could be , most of the bombs used for in the Spanish civil war which the Germans trialled their fuzes in were 50 kg , but they do look like 250Kg in the picture
 
i was nearly napped as well because those bombs look smallish with the chap on the right posing like that.

Hello,

These fuzes, in particular, are exposed in the Museum of the Tedax of the National Police Corp (Spanish EOD are called T.E.D.A.X., Tecnicos Especialistas en Desactivacion de Artefactos Explosivos) in Madrid. This Corp has among other things this mission, the secure and neutralization of this material.

Nevertheless, in Spain there are very good armament collectors of militaria Spanish Civil War and they get looking for them for the battle field or acquiring in Militaria Show.

It is not legal.... but not completely illegal. :tinysmile_eyebrow_t :tinysmile_eyebrow_t :tinysmile_eyebrow_t

Cheers,
 
Hallo no3nh4,
thank you for showing these nice fotos. Have you ever seen any of these german ELAZ fuzes stamped only with an "A". Your answer would be very interesting.
Thanks in advance,
Bellifortis.
 
Today I did a search on the net about the german involvement in the spanish civil war. By chance I stumbled on the info that the 50 kg bombs used were the following models : BWS 377 and DLG 336 and 45 , the A 61, the 49/69 BDF and the heavy bombs 13 DLK and 14 RSK. I have never heard about this model N's before. Has anybody any technical info on these early(1937) models ?
Regards,
Bellifortis.
