I think that this will be helpful to somebody. I have two army manuals in Greek language about
Mines and booby traps (German Italian Hungarian). A text book (108 pages) explaining how to disable mines and traps and one book with pictures. Reprinted Noe. 1945 (3000 tirage) and Feb. 1948 (2000 tirage) from the British Army manual: Enemy equipment German mines and traps, plus the Italian mines from the British executive order mines minefields and booby traps (all arms).
