Armament 51 to 120 mm HE bombs in smoothbore mortars. Development By Junghans to add further safety to the DM 111 design and eliminate the need for safety wires. Description This is basically the same mechanism as the DM 111, but instead of locking the mechanism by a safety wire, which has to be removed before firing, this fuze has an internal lock which is withdrawn by means of a wind vane in the nose of the fuze. At rest the rotor of the fuze is positively locked; once the bomb is fired, wind flow through the
vane rotates it and unlocks the rotor. This locking action is in addition to the escapement controlling the rotor, which has also to be unlocked by acceleration. There are, therefore, two entirely independent forces required to arm this fuze. Manufacturer Junghans Feinwerktechnik.
