Just missed the bidding of a Mines and Charges used by the German Army manual December 1944 on ebay. Just wondering if anyone has a copy and if its worth getting or it has the same info as any other TM manuals of the time

I saw that one too but thought my 1943 copy of FM5-31 Landmines and Boobytraps was very similar, so i decided against bidding.

It is a very nice 'pocket guide' (Just the thing for a US engineer to have in his pocket in the Ardennes in December 1944) and a collectors item in its own right but as Steve says for information there are other sources that have better diagrams etc., since the small format of this one is a limiting factor for the images.
