Looking for a TM or FM of WWII Mines and Explosives

I had, until recently, a TM or FM of WWII Mines and Explosives. I have a feeling it was a 1953 edition. It included mines of all nations during WWII. It was complete with drawings, not photos, of mines, including their dimensions. And instructions how they were used and defused. Cannot remember the number of said book. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help. I have found the book I was talking about, it is "TM 5-223C German Mine Warfare Equipment" March 1952. A great book filled with illustration, with dimensions on a lot of the items.
