Britain
•
3m 47s
During the Second World War Britain's Special Operations Executive (SOE) developed a whole series of sabotage devices for use behind enemy lines. Using unique archival footage this series of short videos examines some of the weapons developed for use by SOE agents in occupied Europe. In this episode we look at an explosive magnet bomb, designed to be attached to any magnetic surface and detonate to destroy machinery or vehicles. It later evolved into the small pocket-sized 'Clam mine'. The footage is part of the Imperial War Museum's collection © IWM MGH 4325 and is used under the Non-commercial Use agreement.
