Re: Glühzündapparat 37
Most of the WW2 era detonators operate on the same basic principle. A spring is wound up tightly and when released turns a generator that produces a charge which is transferred via wire from the detonator to the blasting cap, setting off the explosives.
To use the Glühzündapparat 37 in particular, first you take it out of the leather case. You then put the handle in the AUFZIEHEN hole and wind it up clockwise (indicated by the arrow). After about nine turns it can't be turned further. Now you connect the wires running from the blasting cap to the two poles (the two nipples on the right side of the detonator as pictured above). Then you move the handle into the ZÜNDEN hole and turn clockwise (indicated by the arrow) rapidly. This releases the spring, turning the generator etc. Boom.
There are no batteries in this particular device.
EDIT: And here is a video demonstrating it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72HbNafU-Ts
