German WW2 Afrika Korps Demolition Blocks Inert Replica

Amatol is a highly explosive material made from a mixture of TNT and ammonium nitrate. Its name originates from the words ammonium and toluene (a raw material of TNT). Amatol was used extensively during World War I and World War II, typically as an explosive in military weapons such as aircraft bombs, explosive blocks, shells, depth charges and naval mines. It was eventually replaced with alternative explosives such as Composition B, torpex and tritonal.

Our German Amatol blocks are INERT training aids, or for reenactor use. Also a nice German WWII Pioneer display item.
