Hallo,
while perusing a german WW2 handbook I noticed the attached drawing of a SPRENGKAPSEL 33. The unusual construction of this is, that it has igniter compositions pressed on to top(friction & flame) and another one (flame) in the bottom. What type of fuze was this strange detonator used in and how was this bottom igniter-comp supposed to work ?
Bellifortis.
