Zugzünder 35

[P38Man]

These are most of the Zugzünder 35's in my collection (others are displayed with various charges etc.). The cardboard box was originally unopened, but opened to render the igniters insert. The second box I filled with 15 identical igniters. The third and fourth boxes just contain odds and ends.

S'funny, there's a spelling mistake in the instructional note on the inside of the sheet metal container lid.
"4) Drahtende durch Zünderöse ziehen, und so befestigen, daß Zugraht befestigt ist." It should be Zugdraht .
What strikes me is that these depicted items are all from early into or prior to the second world war.
At this stage the Wehrmacht was still triple-checking everything.

Well spotted. I don't speak German (Google translate is my friend ) but I see just two lines below that word in 6) it is spelled correctly. It's either an error or some grammatical spelling? Most unlike the Germans to make an error though.

It's just a typical typo error which is agreed very uncommon for early Wehrmacht equipment.
