German Parachute Mines
I hope that someone can solve a series of puzzles. I am researching KGr 126 and the mines it dropped in 1940 and documents make mentions of these mines usually as follows:
LMBIII Gruen VH92
To me this is LM type B development III. However, what is VH 92 (and for that matter VH46, VH48, VH24, VH14)?
Other colours are Blau, Gelb, Rot, Weiss.
Also ZK4 and ZK6 are mentioned. ZK = Zählkontakt which is counting contact where the mine becomes live only after a specified number of ignition contacts (1-15 ships have gone over the mine).
Suggestions welcome!
