Re: 5cm Maschinengranatwerfer M19
Hello,
Does anyone know if some form of destructive charge was provided to destroy an M19 mortar before it was captured?
Both the M19s at Brest and St. Malo had an explosive charge placed in the Rahmenzufuehrung (ammunition frame feed) to destroy the weapon by the Germans and in both cases the outer revolving plate was lifted by the blast!
Guessing that a standard 3kg Demolition charge (or similar) was provided as the M19 bunker (633) at Ostend has a nice and unusual recess directly below the turret labelled "vernichtungs-ladung" (destruction charge) which I have not seen elsewhere.
Regards,
Malcolm

Vorläufige Richtlinien für die Zerstörung von ständigen Befestigungsanlagen prescribes 1 kg explosive per m³ room, using HE ammunition, mines or hand granades.
