Historical Information and Application

The EMG (Elektro-Magnetische Grundmine) naval mine was among the most technologically advanced bottom mines used by the Kriegsmarine – the navy of Nazi Germany from 1939-1945. Their primary purpose was to secure strategic ports, waterways, and block access for Allied ships and sea transports. Electromagnetic mines were especially effective against modern vessels, detecting their presence by changes in the electromagnetic field caused by passing ships. They were widely used in the North Sea, the Baltic, and in operations on the Atlantic during World War II.
