Bad Ideas In Mine Clearing #523
Bren carrier? Check.
Naval mine on a rope? Check.
Roundel confirming Polish troops? Check.
Either this thing is already defused, or it's a primitive attempt at spaceflight.

Apparently
it was defused first.
This newsreel illustrates the procedure, presumably simplified and neatened-up for filming.
I guess that if you did it wrong you'd never know.
Sometimes WW2 naval mines
turn up even today (to go to the most relevant bit of fascinating but long page, search for "buoyant").

Even defused, I wouldn't try for too high a velocity and/or make any sudden stops while dragging a big round heavy metal orb behind my vehicle...

Don't be silly. That's the polish atomic bomb program. The same way you use a small fish as bait....
