Ummm.... does it really matter? I mean, I'll be honest with you, I don't think many people could tell the difference between a Polish, Russian, Finn, Hungarian, etc landmine. Is there something about the mines that screams "Russian"?

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your desire for accuracy, but it seems like you might be making things a little more difficult for yourself than you need to.

By the way, that is my long winded way of saying 'No, I don't have any references for you' Stick out tongue

I did do a google search for "Polish World War II weapons" and 'landmines', but came up empty.

Good luck.

Polish mines seem to look a bit like German mines................and that's to be expected as countries borrow proven designs...........

I find  doing a search using Google Images more effective than the standard Google.

Good luck !

Good find. Nice pictures.

Just out of curiousity, what was your search? I redid mine as an image search and still got no good results.

Being verbose in search parameters only seems to call up everything but what I want.
