Reminds me of the coal bombs used against the Union. Steamship sabotage attributed to typical boiler explosions. Who knows to this day. There is a book about these devices. And there is actually one in a museum somewhere.

You did a fine job of discribing the Baurei 52, but how about compairing it to USA and UK engines from the same period.

The detail that impressed me most was that the Clam Rail's greatest weapon wasn't its explosive—it was the confusion it created. By making sabotage look like an ordinary mechanical failure, it tied up German investigators, delayed rail traffic, and quietly consumed resources far beyond the cost of a tiny device.

Due to the intentional destruction of video images herein I would suggest just listening to the narrative and not viewing the video at all.
