Of the fuze types available for Tellermines, the T.Mi.Z.43 fuze was notable for featuring an integral anti-handling device as standard: when the fuze is inserted and the pressure plate (or screw cap) is screwed down into place, it shears a weak arming pin inside the fuze with an audible "snap". This action arms the anti-handling device. Thereafter, any attempt to disarm the mine by unscrewing the pressure plate (or screw cap) to remove the fuze will automatically trigger detonation. Since it is impossible to determine which fuze type has been installed, no pressure plate or screw cap should be removed from a Tellermine. The T.Mi.Z.43 fuze may be fitted to the Tellermine 42 and 43 series.

  • Of the fuze types available for Tellermines, the T.Mi.Z.43 fuze was notable for featuring an integral anti-handling device as standard: when the fuze is inserted and the pressure plate (or screw cap) is screwed down into place, it shears a weak arming pin inside the fuze with an audible "snap".

Since it is impossible to determine which fuze type has been installed, no pressure plate or screw cap should be removed from a Tellermine. The T.Mi.Z.43 fuze may be fitted to the Tellermine 42 and 43 series. To hinder demining, all Teller mines featured two additional fuze wells (located on the side and underneath) to enable anti-handling devices to be attached. There were four models of Teller Mine made during World War II: * Teller Mine 43 * Teller Mine 42 * Teller Mine 35 * Teller Mine 29 Approximately 3,622,900 of these mines were produced by Germany from 1943 to 1944.
