Copying and Pasting:
In these shots, the cameras were encased in 2.5" thick Lead boxes, mounted on poles, and secured with guy wires (wrapped with foil). The cameras they used inside the houses were also encased in 2 inches of lead shielding, and were bolted to the foundation.
The cameras used to captures these tests were called GSAP cameras, (Gun Sight Aiming Point cameras), which were handy for this operation, since they were small and reliable. The power boxes for these shots were buried underground, and hooked up to a timing operator, which turned on the cameras when the bomb went off.

The Nazis also experimented with fuel/air weapons during WWII. In the second volume of 'D Day Through German Eyes', Eckhertz has translated his father's interview with, amongst others, a chap who was on the development team for such weapons. The book is incredible, and I would definitely recommend it. The second volume covers at least one other experimental weapon which I hadn't come across before (and my academic field is military injury biomechanics so fairly well read).
