Hi, just had a look at my Things and thought I Show a few variations of adaptors to be used with german demolition charges. A very good article is shown here wehe one can see the charges and more Details around them:

To ignite the charges, a Zündschnuranzünder (29 or 39) was used. To connect to the time delay cord (Zeitzündschnur 30), an adaptor was needed (Zündschnur adaptor). On the other end, to connect the time delay cord to the demolition charge, another adaptor was needed to connect the cord to the Sprengkapsel (igniter, mostly Sprengkapsel number 8) and to screw the lot into the threaded tube in the charge.
Here are some pics of Things I have:
Zündschnuranzünder 29 (early, brass) and 39 (wartime, alloy). Note the different adaptors on the ANZ39: there are in fact 3 variants I have, One like a Bottleneck, and 2 that look similyr, but are fifferent in lengh. Those 2 do have a very different "clamping mechanism" to hold the cord, not like a Bottleneck but more like a hook;
