timmy Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Circa 1940 During The Blitz the Germans used naval mines dropped with parachutes as improvised blockbusters. They exploded on contact with a hard surface; as the bomb was not in a crater, the force of the blast would disperse laterally- causing extensive damage. The large raid on Coventry between November 14, and November 15 of 1940 included the use of 50 parachute naval mines- which caused extensive blast damage. The British called these devices 'air-mines', which was a cognate for the German term Luftmine, their own name for these ordnance items. These types were used also during air raids on Malta, especially on its harbour areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
