	Polish mine detector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mine detector (Polish) Mark I was a metal detector for landmines developed during World War II in the winter of 1941/1942 by Polish lieutenant Józef Stanisław Kozacki.
		His design was accepted and 500 mine detectors were immediately sent to El Alamein where they doubled the speed of the British 8th Army.
		The Polish detector had two coils, one of which was connected to an oscillator which generated an oscillating current of an acoustic frequency.

	Demining - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Civilian or humanitarian mine clearance by contrast requires that all mines are cleared so that the land or sea area may be safely used.
		The electronic land mine detector was invented towards the end of 1941 by Lieutenant Josef Stanislaw Kosacki, a signals officer with the 1st Polish Army Corps.
		The system works by subjecting the mine to thermal neutrons while searching for the very rare and high energy gamma photons; these photons will only be observed when an object containing nitrogen is being subjected to the neutron irradiation.

	Polish Mines
		The mine must be dropped from at least 100 meters for proper arming and to sink the proper depth into the ground.
		The mine is detonated by pressure, by the magnetic field of a passing vehicle at least 500 kg in size, or by an attempt to move or disturb the mine.
		Disarming attempts are tricky (one level harder), and the mine is 50% likely to be set off by a mine detector, or 10% likely to be set off by probing with a metal instrument such as a knife blade.

		We must remember that the Polish memory after the war was dominated by an awareness of Polish sacrifices and the dramatic history of the resistance movement.
		The time would come when the authorities would be so anxious to utilize social sentiments to lubricate the acceptance of a series of political U—turns that they would turn anti—Semitic prejudices against people of Jewish origin, first within the power structure itself, and later, for many years, against the opposition.
		The problem of anti—Semitism is given a concrete historical dimension when we remember that its dynamics and context after 1945 were determined to a large degree by the conflicts between the authorities and the Polish populace.
