This incomplete, untitled instructional film (main title is missing on our print) was presented by the U.S. Army (circa 1950s) shows a G.I. setting up various models of American-made military-grade landmines. The models shown were used post- WWII and throughout the Cold War. The film actually begins with images of what appears to be an M6 (or possibly an M15) mine, a heavy, circular anti-tank mine that was similar to the German Tellermine 42.
Close-up of M6 or M15 landmine in soil, being marked for removal (0:09). This will normally be done by blowing it up in place or moving it with a long rope. Disarming the mine: hand turns dial on top of the landmine (0:40). A US Army soldier puts safety pin to the M6 landmine and lifts it out of its hole (0:51). Soldier sets up M14 anti-personnel anti-personnel blast mine (1:20). Soldier buries and disguises the M14 (3:45). Soldier places a safety pin around the indicator arrow to prevent premature explosion (4:16). Illustration of how buried M14 Landmine functions (5:18). Soldier sets up M16 Landmine (5:49). Illustration of explosion radius of the M16 (7:55).
A land mine is an explosive device concealed under or on the ground and designed to destroy or disable enemy targets. The use of landmines is controversial because of their potential and indiscriminate weapons. They can remain dangerous many years after a conflict has ended and pose a threat to civilian safety. During the Cold War the United States used the M6 anti tank mine and trip-wire operated bounding antipersonnel mines such as the M2 and M16 which are some of the explosives featured in this instructional film.
The M6 landmine debuted in WWII, where it was deployed against German heavy tanks. The mine was an upgrade of the M1, which proved incapable of destroying the tracks of German armor. It was superseded by the M15 mine.
The M14 mine “Toepopper“ is a small anti-personnel landmine first deployed by the United States circa 1955.
The M16 mine is a United States-made bounding anti-personnel mine which was produced in the millions of units, starting in the early 1950s. It was based on a WWII German design.
