Self-destruction device on He111 & Ju88

Hi all,

The Luftwaffe build a self-destruction device in their He 111 & Ju 88 bombers so that the crew, after a F/L behind enemy lines could "pull the pin" just before leaving the aircraft. The aircraft was subsequently destroyed by the device.

Does anyone have more information about this device? I'm more precisely looking for an answer to the following questions:

- From which model on or from which date on was this device installed?
- What explosive charge was used?

Thanks in advance,
Rudi.
