Does anyone have a photo of one of these fuzes in the bomb ,also how did it work...thanks for looking spotter
 
cpp is the manufacturer code for \"Rheinmetall Borsig AG Werk Breslau\".

If you reduce the arming delay to zero the fuze functions on the launch ramp, at least that is the theory. The SOE technical folk manufactured 100 such fuzes for infiltration into the German supply chain as a part of Operation Crossbow. Don't know if they managed to get any into service. [TNA file HS7-16 refers].

Cant seem to post a photo easily so PM me with an email address if you want a photograph of the British counterfeit fuze.
