- A video describing how the fuze for the german tellermine 35 works. Well designed fuze that required between 300 and 600 lbs to set off.
If anyone knows the wire length on it please post it in the comments, I'm having a hard time finding the info on it. Thanks.
Great upload and VERY interesting to see such details and to have full understanding on the workings of this device. As I have a few of these I might attempt a dismantling effort myself. Thanks again. Impressed.
Thanks. Glad you found it useful. I have videos on a few different fuzes if you liked that one you may like the other ones too.
@@Stray03 That’s great news. Looking forward to exploring your work. 👍🏻
Man, thanks to Your videio I have disasembled 4 pcs of this
Nice. Yeah they are tough to get apart because screws tend to rust solid. Makes it a challenge.
Спасибо за это познавательное видео.
VERY TALENTED PRESENTER!
+paul fuchs Thank you, Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
Thank you. Very interesting and helpful for mine research.
I'm glad it was useful, What research are you doing?
I live in Jersey, Channel Islands which was occupied by the German forces during WWII. The island was heavily fortified and formed part of the Atlantic wall. This included minefields. I am a member of the Channel Islands Occupation Society and have obtained some replica mines including the T mine so this is very helpful to help me understand and discuss the detail on how the mine worked during the guided walks I do for some of the more interesting areas on the island. There were also S mines, schumines and rollbombs, some of which are still being found.
Alexander Fearn Interesting Job. You may have seen them but I also have videos on other german fuses Including the ones for the s-mine 35 and the schumines. They all come with a firing demo some with live primers.
Ok - I give up! How did you unscrew the cap holder on this fuze to get at the firing pin? I’ve cleaned up the rust to clear the disk and have even gotten the main ring off the bottom to release the entire firing pin assembly itself, but the disk that seals the striker and spring in the assembly and holds the firing cap I cannot unscrew in the slightest. Please share your solution. Thank you!
Held the steel part in a padded vise. Made a tool out of wood and drill bits to fit the disk. Slightly drilled the divots in the disk that hold it in place to make my life easier even though you dont have to and then turned it. Just have to be careful. No real good method.
Thanks for the advice - I tried, but can’t get the succor to budge. Drilled out the peened places and used Liquid Wrench. Nothing. I did manage to scar the brass surface in the multiple attempts. In any event thanks for sharing. Funny how this is the one part of these fuzes which is always so corroded - next to the screws, that is...
@@personalaccount4228 shitty. Im surprised it didnt free up.
Hello! Nice movie thanks!
I've got one question couse you didn't cover this in the movie. After removing the safety pin like you did on 5:45, and rotating the screw back to SICHER position, was the mine safe again let's say for the sappers to defuze it ?
Yeah supposedly it was the way to make it safe for removal.
I like enjoy watching a group of Russians that dig these up or find them on occasion and broadcast here on TH-cam. Today they found a couple of these mines from a swampy area. What even got you to be interested in messing with these, much less how did you even acquire one in a condition this good to disassemble? I know the ones they pulled up today are probably in this kind of condition or better by the looks of it.
Recently I found 3 of these in excellent condition looking almost new.... still with the Bowden cable wrapped round the fuse and connected to safety release pin.. I suspect they were left in what were some stores in Normandy. Goes without saying that I am very proud of them. Further West from here near Grandcamp Maisy in what was a minefield, I found many that have been detonated. This causes the brass body of the device where it enters the body of the mine to get slightly chamfered from the force of the upward blast.
That is pretty cool to hear about. I would love to dig some areas like that. Thanks for mentioning it.
@@Stray03 thank you for your interest. Just returned from France last Monday. Was lucky enough to dig up a perfect alloy 189/40 teller mine detonator with its safety pin still intact and straight. It has cleaned up beautifully. It was my interest in this and its workings that lead me to your sight. Pleased it did. Kind Regards, Francis
