German type Z tZ 89 `Shorty`

[waffenamt]

Evening chaps,
Just thought i would show you a few shots of this type 89.
Ive nicknamed it `shorty` as you can see by the size of it compared to the standard type 89.
Not sure yet of the application of this one but i highly suspect it was for containers or photoflash bombs?. I will winkle through the files later unless one of you boys knows what it was used on?

Hallo Waff.
The fuze 89 B. was used in the C50 flashlight bomb. It has a running time of 4-60 seconds. In it a clockwork is blocked as in the Flakzndern S/60. Harry
