The German Luft Minen (LM) mine series consisted of five different types of sea mi-nes. These types were designated LMA, LMB, LMC, LMD, and LMF. There was no mine designated LME. All these mines were influence mines designed primarily for laying from aircraft with large parachutes. LMA and LMB were ground mines. LMC, LMD, and LMF were moored.
