A set of sovjet sabotage Fuzes to destroy oil and fuel tanks with blasting and fire Charge. 1 mechanical time fuze ( 0 to 6 Hours ) and 1 fuze cutting wire with lead pieces for several times. The blasting charge makes a hole in the tank, some time late fire Charge lights the fuel.

Has anyone more Informations and Draws of the Fuzes and Charges

The cylindrical one is the "VZD-3M" the other with the clockwork is the VZD-6Ch (German transliteration: VZD-6Tsch).
The enclosed detonators were the MD-5M.

The use you describe is as it was in the East-German NVA. The Soviets did not really limit it's use and it ranges from HE charges to simple arming mechanizms for special booby trap fuzes (more sophisticated ones) and also serve as self destructin feature for mines.
