Major General Waffenamt Posted February 21, 2016 Major General Share Posted February 21, 2016 About as close as you get buddy. Indeed its part of the shackle from a parachute for the german mines dropped overland to blow the roofs off houses before an incendiary raid. This one recovered from a Shropshire where it had hit a pylon and exploded. Imagine the blast to shear off that coupling! Eeesh!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
