Hi there,are these type of mines found in all the Baltic countries? Stewy S

[Dimas]

Yes, I can confirm that that kind of mines widely used in Ost front. And they are more dangerous than steel, due of the concrete fragmentations cannot be discovered with x-ray, and the fragmentation is like a dust, the men got a 1000's of hits and after the war peoples with that kind of damages live with a pain and no more than 10 years...

Dimas,the "dust" you refer to is basically glass (& Silica). Due to the introduction of another substance. Stewy S

Bought at Beltring last year for £20. I was very happy to find it.

They are heavy and postage would not be cheap.

Cheers, Ade.
