“When I was stationed in Germany 1979-1981 they were still finding bombs all the time then. They’d excavate parking lots etc. to get em out. Stunned it still goes on.”
When I was stationed in West Berlin during the 60’s they routinely found unexploded bombs. Just about every weekend they would detonate them in a nearby forest sometimes shaking our dwelling.Sometimes old bombs would detonate just about anywhere in the city much to the chagrin and grief of unfortunate construction workers.
“Stunned it still goes on.”
Towards the end of the waa, we were sending in something like 7,000 sorties per day. I’m more surprised about how rare the finds are now.
