Tony N Posted 28 May , 2015 Share Posted 28 May , 2015 According to this site http://members.iinet.net.au/~pictim/mines/history/history.htmlthe Germans started using mines on a large scale in 1918 to combat the effectiveness of American tanks Why didn't the Brits think of tanks first I suppose if they really were using anti tank mines in 1918 they may have adapted them as anti personnel mines too.
