My Father was in the combat engineers in WWII and according to their history, they once dug 18 mines out of a 6 yard square piece of ground. I guess the Germans considered it a good location for a mine.

Maybe Pvt. Von Schtuup was told he'd get his break after he buried his 18 mines and he just stuck the suckers down as fast he could.

Many mines were intended for the deminer. Mines would be stacked on top of each other, or located close to another in order to catch a green/careless deminer.
