Greetings. I read Rhinemetall-Borsig produced an proximity fuze called "KUHGLÖCKCHEN" for 88 and 128mm shells; which is a further variation of KUHGLOCKE. I saw a lot of late war german developements about multicavity magnetrons, PPI and stuff, but never about Printed Circuit board made for a fuze.
Any on info about this ? Thanks.
 
The Germans used printed circuit boards in several devices during the war. I know that they were used in a variant of the magnetic mine fuze and in a very late-war IR vision device.

The German 'Clock' series of proximity fuzes (ie Kuckuck, Kuhglocke, etc.) for AA weapons never made it past prototype stage, but it is possible/probable they used PCBs in the design.
