Highway Traps of Wire Coils Entangle Armored Cars
Item
One simple defense against mechanized troops is to place coils of wire in the path of the trucks and armored cars. Although not impressive, these light coils entwine themselves around any car that has exposed axles and snarl it helplessly just as a rope stops the propeller of a motorboat. The British army used the wire coils liberally, particularly along narrow country roads, in preparing against invasion.
