Thank you.
What does "Tel" mean in German (and English) ?
And what about the fuze ?

Tel = Telescopic

the nose spike is telescopic and acts as a stabo to give a 'daisy cutter' effect, bomb exploding just above the ground.

Hey Dave,
The ones similar that i have usually have a thin bakelite cover underneath where the wires are affixed.

Thought these were a secondary type of container fuze?
