Any information about these concrete brick mines? A lot of them has been found in the past from former German storage area in northern Finland. It's a brick size concrete block with cast-in 200 grams TNT-block and cavity for Z.Z.42 fuze. Fragmentation filler in concrete is finger tip size rocks.
There has been some kind of wooden cover around the brick with a steel plate attached. Notches on the plate fit in safety pin of Z.Z.42. All found mines have been burned and wood has disappeared.
