Hallo,
while reading in an old german manual about the eAZ(66) fuze, I realized, that the many hundreds I have seen worldwide, were all incomplete. This fuze is the only german electric fuze, where the electricity is generated mechanically inside the fuze. It consists of 2 parts, The upper mechanical impulse-generator with 2 pins protruding from the bottom and a seperate E-match holder, into which the 2 pins of the top part fit. In all the fuzes I have seen until now, this lower part was missing. The idea behind constructing the fuze in 2 parts, was, that in shaped charge bombs the impulse-generator could be fitted to the nose, while the E-match containing lower part could be fitted seperately in the base and connected by a wire. Does anybody have a good picture(s) of this lower part of the eAZ(66) ?
Thanking you for your consideration, I remain yours
