M Hofbauer Posted September 17, 2000 Share Posted September 17, 2000 T-mines had been available to the german army for decades before WW II. The standard german antitank mine at the outbreak of Barbarossa was the T.Mi.35, as the model designation suggests it was a prewar design. I suppose with "magnetic anti-tank mine" you are referring to the manually attached close combat anti-tank weapon for infantry; Development of the Hafthohlladungen magnetic-attached mines just started around that time. Several experimental models were developed. The first use of the regular anti-tank magnetic-attached mine, the Panzerhandmine 3, occurred during May 1942 at the Wolchow. conclusion in regard to your original question: T-Mine yes, magnetic ATMM no. ------------------ "All i hear is the Iron Cross sucks etc. " (GAZ_NZ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
