      @Monsieurturmoil Okay, first of all, I'm danish, and I can assure u that it wasn't the child soldiers that cleared the beaches but experienced German engineers from "minenkommando". and it was all German officers that had the day to day commando over the troops, and the allies only coordinated the sweep. and second of all Germany lost the war, and the country was starving, so many stayed and cleared mines, and got something too eat.

      Great idea. Knew several EOD people in my military career. Recall at least once in Germany, EOD called out to "safe" an "explosive" off base. Can only presume it was a U.S. "munition."
      Curious - any data available on public detectorists' explosive finds versus the general public?

      I don't think that's a good idea. Showing techniques and methods can lead to bad people utilizing those methods to create eods tailored against them. I know this is a long shot, but this is something that can happen, just because it doesn't happen often, doesn't mean a*sholes don't exist. It's just my 2 cents.

    Technicaly speaking these bombs still may have the detonators inside. The things on the top are more fuzes rather than actual detonators. They have a 6mm cap (like those on most shotgun shells) on the bottom that ignites a 4 sec delay in the middle of the bomb when the thing gets triggered. That activates an ejecting charge on the bottom of the mine and launches the explosives and shrapnel canister in the air, while at the same time igniting the fuzes of the actual detonators inside said canister. After some microseconds the bomb explodes in the air and flings those metal shards all over the place. The 3 identical screws on the top of the mine are where the detonators are inserted into the mine, the larger screw is where the hi explosive for the main explosive charge is filled in from, and the center thread is the location for the fuze/s.

    The Sprengmine. One of my favorite mines. I own three with another on the way. I love all the fuze options the Germans devised.

    I used to go to a huge flea market in Chattanooga, Tennessee, this guy had so many military items, uniforms, hats, insignia, etc... including a complete WW2 U.S. mine detector, everything even the battery. The more he drank the more he gave me, I filled 5 duffle bags, went to load everything, came back he sold the mine detector, 25.00 !!!!

    7:50 The diagram is 'interesting', nasty little mines those. From the diagram the mine sits in a canister, 4.5 seconds after being triggered it jumps into the air and the short time fuse then detonates the main charge, which fires all those ball bearings in all directions. So if you are running you may be ok, but if you are walking you'll be dead or seriously injured.

    You got a world of guts pulling these mines out. Detonators or not I’d be too scared to dig them up even after 75 years. One good thing is in that in that salty wet environment it’s likely the mines have corroded enough that water has gotten inside and rendered the explosives inert. It would be cool if you could interview one of the bomb disposal guys about their condition.
