Hi

A Friend of mine found those, but what are they?
Maker HASAG and they are 155 cm and made of aluminium

Being HSAG it can be virtually anything, well close ...

Can't remember the exact name (i will have a look in the manuals), but these were used to connect T-mines.
1 mine at each side , the bar acted as a pressure plate, but over a larger area.

I think there's a shorter all steel version as well.

Good find !

Follow up: correct name is "druckschiene".
Several of these, when fitted on T-mine, could be used to rapidly mine a road, correct term for that was "Schnellsperre".

The holes were used to add camouflage.


There's quit a good article about these in Waffe revue nr. 89, starting at page 119.

Odd. For me, it shows a preview of the first page which you can scroll down to see the rest. Shows some pics.

I know this is an old thread, but I am curious, what did your friend do with these? I have been looking for one.
