BTW - how big were the sea mines dropped by parachute as
'blockbusters'? The Germans used the LMA and LMB Minenbomben: http://www.luftarchiv.info/bordgerate/abwurf.htm On this German page is a range of German bombs and you can clearly see the LMB mine fitted with bomb fins and the last one the BM 1000 "Monika". The Germans also had a LMB IV that was intended for the Me-264 but I don't think it was ever used as the Me-264 was lost. It is noteworthy that this weapon would have been used against the US eastern seaboard by the Me-264. Rob p.s. The LMB IV weighed 2,380 lbs with 2,006 lb of Amatol 39.
