The Schuh Mine pattern 42 was a simple anti-personnel mine constructed of impregnated plywood and cardboard. Because they did not contain any metal, a Schuh Mine was very difficult to detect. The mine contained enough explosive power to blow off the foot and/or lower leg of an unsuspecting soldier. The Schuh Mine 42 was one of a number of mines encountered by Captain Miller and his Rangers in the days immediately following D-Day. |
