INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a pair of German WW2 e AZ66 A superfast nose fuses for the SD4-HL anti tank shaped charge aircraft bomb in their original bakelite transit container and original cylindrical cardboard packing piece. The SD 4/HL (Sprengbombe Dickwandig, Hohlladung; was a thick-walled explosive, hollow charge bomb) was introduced in March 1944 to counter Russian armoured vehicles. The hollow charged bomb could penetrate 130mm of armour at 60 degrees and was armed with a super sensitive and quick eAZ66A electronic fuse. The bomb was usually dropped via the AB250 container containing 40 bombs or the AB500 container containing 74 bombs. The bakelite fuses have a perspex cover with two prongs stick out of the base and a wind arming vane on the front. The brown bakelite body is stenciled in white round the circumference Z 66 (in a circle) A edr g 174 and a waffenampt. The fused are separated by a brown cardboard tube which protects the arming vanes. The transit container is the standard German bomb fuse transit container. This bomb was also used in the anti-personal role against mass troops with divesting effect. See pages 143 and 218, German Air Dropped Weapons to 1945 by Wolfgang Fleischer.
