The Schu-mine 42 was a German anti-personnel blast landmine used during the Second World War. It consisted of a simple wooden box with a hinged lid containing a 200 g block of cast TNT. A slot in the lid pressed down on the striker retaining pin, sufficient pressure on the lid caused the pin to move, releasing the striker which triggered the detonator. The mine was cheap to produce, and its wooden body made it more difficult to detect with early metal detectors.
