Tellermine 29
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tellermine 29 is a German anti-tank blast landmine. It first entered service in 1929, and by 1937 with the introduction of the Tellermine 35, was being used mainly in training. However the mine did see limited service during the Second World War, notably after D-Day in France. The mine uses three Z.D.Z. 29 fuzes, that are normally set at an activation pressure of 125 kg. The mine is fitted with two secondary fuze wells that enable the fitting of anti-handling devices.
