The document from the Sprengschule Dresden is also a secondary document.
The source mentioned in that document: TM 9-1985-3 is about projectiles and projectile fuzes.
The primary German source as mentioned in that document: H.Dv. 220/4b gives no name.
The German manual: H.Dv. 220/4c gives also alone the abbreviation S-Mine 35.

This is the case, according to the document from the School of Dresden, the denomination (Bezeichnung) is S-Mine 35. Splitterspringmine and Schuetzenabwehrmine (munitionssorte and munitionsart) are therefore the internal subclasses of the macro-categories (Hauptgruppe) mine....
