== History ==
''Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>.''

+Compared to the near-peers, the EMF has an outstanding explosive filler of 350 kg of SW39a, what translates to 448 kg TNT. The price for such a large explosive filler is a heavy mass of the mine (1,100 kg each), but comparatively speaking it still has an excellent percentage of the mass filled with explosives. For example, only 19% of the French [[B4M mine]] is the explosive filler, while for the EMF it's an excellent 32%.

 == History ==
-German mines had a high reputation in both World Wars for reliability and innovation. The British paid perhaps the ultimate compliment in 1917 by copying a captured German Hertz horned mine to produce their first reliable contact mine. Following World War I, Germany established a mine warfare research and development command in 1920. Airborne mines were successfully tested in 1931 and acoustic and magnetic mines were developed before the war started. Some 1,500 magnetic mines were available in the spring of 1940, far short of the 50,000 originally ordered. Pressure mines were developed in 1943 but not used until the night of 6-7 June 1944 in the Normandy invasion area. This late deployment was to avoid their capture and duplication by the Allies. However, the Allies had already developed their own but had not used them for similar reasons. German pressure mines that could not be swept were nearly ready for deployment at the end of the war. Postwar, Germany used British and USA mines until the 1960s, at which time Denmark and Germany began cooperating in developing a new generation of magnetic ground mines.
