Panzer stab 43

The mine consisted of a wine glass shaped metal main body mounted on a wooden post, with a tilt rod holding arm projecting to one side.

At a stand-off distance of about half a meter the main charge could penetrate up to 100 millimeter of armour.

Testing conducted by the German army indicated that the mine stood a 65 to 68 percent chance of knocking out a tank.

The mine entered service in 1943, and around 25,000 were produced before production was terminated in late 1943 or early 1944 due to "jealousies within Army departments".
