I am looking for the model numbers used by the Germans for the captured foreign landmines.
For instance: Which British antitank mine was the Panzermine 403 (e)?
 
Antoon, may I ask simillar question?
Which French antipersonal mine was the S.Mi. 422(f)??? Is it S.Mi.35, which saw produceing in French or it`s original French mine?
 
@ Antoon:

403 (e) is Mine anti tank Mk III
Will deliver a list after some more research.

@ Ivashkin:

Unfortunately I don't know a 422 (f), but only the 442 (f) - Mine bondissante de 60mm Mle 1940.
The letters in brackets are always indicating foreign (non-German) origin and production.

Thanks for the information.

The list is certainly incomplete and some foreign specifications may be spelled incorrect.
There must be a corresponding manual/booklet "Kennbltter fremden Gerts Nr.?" (fact sheets of foreign equipment), but I've never seen one yet.
