This is clear, well written, etc, but it leaves the main question unanswered: how did the mine get there? It's under the German fortifications, so this requires some explanation. --LarsMarius 10:30, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Response: Historical mine does not represent the modern explosive device let in place hoping that an enemy person or tank will go over it. In that time mine means to dug a tunnel (like the ones in coal mines) under the enemy fortifications and put explosives follow by detonation. This was supposed to coincide with an infantry attack to break through the gap. In fact this is an ancient technique used also in many wars before WW1. BdB-18 12:39, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
