Well, poor or not, they did it, I found the American TM for german bombs of that era printed in the 50s and the SC250 definitely has a forward and after fuze pocket. Took 5, 17, 50, or 57 series fuzes.
Its wild that all this stuff from decades ago is online. You get used to not having any historical data about, well, historical events.
The type 17 fuze was a clockwork that could go 1.5 to 80 hours after landing. I could imagine something like that getting jarred into working again after a few decades...
- kortex 4y agoThanks for the correction! Yeah, I did some more digging and there are in fact some wacky designs. The single-fusing-element is more dominant in modern designs, but war is a crazy place.
