For some people, a war doesn't end with a peace agreement.
In this case, another British "high capacity" (HC) blockbuster bomb was discovered in the harbour of Kiel, Germany. It seems to be intact. 3,000 lb of explosives, 3 fuzes, it's all still there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockbuster_bomb
"Im Jahr 2019 waren in NRW noch 307 Weltkriegsbomben mit einem Gewicht von mindestens 50 Kilogramm entschärft worden."
We are talking one state(!)
So to set expectations right, a big problem is that the detonators deteriorate over time, and become unstable/unsafe to handle. Predicted about… now. @masek
