If anyone knows where they were actually deployed during the war that would be a very interesting fact to have. I haven't been able to find out where they were used. wiki_capwn 04:42, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They were layed in the german "Eifel" for example, theres a german wikipedia article containing some info http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalpark_Eifel Hope this helps. 80.137.211.220 (talk) 00:17, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No "free" picture around?

[edit]

Instead of the picture of a path in the wood, would be much better an actual picture of these mines. Photos with no creative content and with the only meaning of depicting a WW2-era hystorical fact do apply? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Camp0s (talkcontribs) 13:50, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Photos of a Glasmine 43 that I have taken

[edit]

When I was recently at the Bayeux Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy, I took a few photographs of the Glasmine 43 on display there. I saw the recent post about adding a different photograph and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to add one of the photos that I took. This is one of the photos I took. I have another one where the card is clearer but the picture is of both the Bouncing Betty and the Glasmine 43.

X-ray detection of glass shards

[edit]

Glass shards are easily detected on plain-film radiography. "Glass has a similar density to cortical bone and so is readily identified within soft tissue." [1]https://www.radiologymasterclass.co.uk/tutorials/musculoskeletal/trauma/trauma_x-ray_page10

It's an enduring myth that glass is hard to detect on Xray examination; this is probably because intuitively people assume that because it is transparent to visible light it behaves similarly to Xrays. This is not the case. 12.191.26.4 (talk) 03:10, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
