Default Does anyone know the bomb size

Does anyone know the bomb size and type used on July 20th, 1944 in the attempt to kill Hitler. For some reason I can't find that info.

I have not found a size but if you look for topics on the British Plastic C with acid activated fuse, that is what they used. I am having a hard time finding anything specific on size.

On the " Secret plot to kill Hitler" by Discovery channel it was mentioned they used a Clam bomb.

I can see there were different versions , at least I-III, but cannot tell which was used against Hitler.
