German mine manual

Has anyone got this manual pictured, titled Mines and charges used by the German Army dated 1944. I was wondering what it is like, if it is useful as a reference. Tried to win it on ebay today and got out bid. Any one have it.
I was also wondering if it would be useful to have a section about Ordnance manual information like manuals in paper form and CDs and what is available and what would be worth their weight in gold etc. What do you guy's think.

Steve what a lovely collection of books, As an experienced collector ordnance and fuze man such as your self, what do you recommend as good reference to German mines and fuzes. Is there anything out there worth hunting for. I am always after information, i find it more valuable than the items it refers to.
 
Manuals

Hi Chris thanks for the compliment
The two most useful manuals on ordnance are these attached pictures .
The first ione is in French is about 300 pages with all types of mines and boobytraps , from Germany France Italy and UK of course .
The second was a manual produced on mines and igniters etc used by the germans .
Regards

Hi Borman,

Do you have more military manuals maybe i have something you are looking for and i can send you a CD????
 
I have a copy i bought from ostfront.com, quite cheap, they accept pay-pal and is a very good copy that you can read and identify the pictures.
 
For the German collectors

Here are some of the "bibles" I have in my collection.

Worth every penny paid!

Bmg50 the small green manual is a good investment...nothing rare is covered but still a nice pocket reference when your out and about at the fairs etc.

Enjoy

Glen
