This is a rare group of parts from a German Spring mine also known as Bouncing Betty there are 4 parts in all from top of the mine which are connected together but the top fuse does screw on properly and all the parts are empty and inert . All the parts are rusty with some damage but still very solid not braking up or falling apart they still retain some of there original colours but are a bit dirty from being buried but they have been nicely cleaned and are perfect for display or any collection. The parts are around 1O inches long in size when all connected and the top plate,centre tube and connector all still have some original black paintwork and the top plate has maker markings that can be partly seen. The betty mine parts were recovered from near the village of Trun in the Falaise Pocket, Normandy in 1944.The parts come with 2x A5 laminated information sheets with pictures and diagram.
The items were recovered from a field near Trun, believed to be a pit dug by the Allies where large amounts of German equipment were discarded and buried following the Battle of the Falaise Pocket, Normandy, France, in 1944. A rare and interesting relic from the famous Normandy battlefield.
