UXB is no joke in Europe, a German backhoe operator was killed a couple of months ago by an unexploded bomb. If you read the story above, the Belgians are still decommissioning gas shells from WWI found a year or two ago.
Yes Daddy had some good war stories. He brought home a couple of nice cameras, a Luger, a P-38 and an Austro-Hungarian .32 auto.
The Luger had an interesting story. After the war, his unit went into Berlin not too long after the Russians captured it. Most of the soldiers would feed German kids who were close to starving.
The two Daddy fed were Fritz and Ingrid. One day he asked Fritz if he could get him a Luger. The roughly six year old took off running and in about an hour he brought Daddy a sack. In it was a Luger, spare mag and a holster. They still had dirt on them and had obviously been buried.
