Think the Germans used the same "pattern" of mine clearance boots as the Russians were using. Very effective and affordable but can only be used one.

Read about the British north of Caen using sheep also. Course they tied a rope onto them. Had orders not to kill and eat the local's domestic stock. But they could eat animals that had been killed from shelling, mines, enemy fire, etc. You'd think the people in charge would be aware that soldiers will find a loop hole for everything

Dave B - Just another collector/researcher like yourself and most of the people on the list. Glad you liked the books.

Dave D - Bummer on the blowout. Good thing you didn't loose the carrier. We never did get that picture for the MLU with our vehicles and Derek with his CMP.

Hey Stewart, what groups are using the mine clearing device now? Jeep or Weasel version?
