Necklace of mines

[13th battalion]

Hi guys, I've just been reading about "necklaces of anti tank mines" used by the 6th and first airborne in ww2.What would the make up of these be. How would they be constructed and would the mines have been Hawkins mines?

In Red Army used the same tactic - ready for useing A/T mines (with fuzes and so on) frugs up by solders to tank or trucks. I sow picture with Hawkins mines. How it looks you can see on this photo from Ukraine.
P.S. In most situation drugs up it by one person impossible! But with Hawkins mine can do it.
