    The Tellermine 35 which was first introduced in 1935 is a metal mine with a pressure plate containing little more than 5.5 kilograms of TNT and a fuze activation pressure of approximately 200 lb (91 kg), the Teller mine was capable of blasting the tracks off any World War II-era tank or destroying a lightly armoured vehicle. Because of its rather high operating pressure, only a vehicle or heavy object passing over the Teller mine would set it off. this mine was widely used by the German armed forces throughout the Second World War and especially during the Battle of Normandy. Tellermine 35 is also used along the Atlantic Wall, attached to wooden piles located on beaches or at the back of the coastline to prohibit the landing of allied gliders. Two detonators can be installed to prevent bearing. This version designed specifically for the desert is produced (Tellermine 35 S) or Stahl, equipped with a filter preventing sand from engulfing inside the metal structure.
