Sosok.ID – Since World War stopped many nations withdrawing from the invasion military.
For example Netherlands and Japan who withdrew from Indonesia, and others.
However, they still left some of their military equipment in the country, such as many planes and tanks Netherlands left behind in Indonesia.
Up to a few grenade which are sometimes still found buried in the ground.
In addition to Indonesia, there are many other countries that also still store weapons inherited from World War II from countries that once occupied it.
The same is the case with the following case, where a country almost unequivocally finds Nazi bombs left over from World War II.
According to RT quoted from 24h.com.vn, Tuesday (13/10/2020), the country is Poland, where reports say the Nazi bombs they were storing had exploded.
The bomb was a Tallboy Bomb weighing 5.4 tons of Nazi relics from World War II.
It was reported that a special task force of the Polish Navy tried to deactivate the 5.4 tonne “Tallboy” bomb.
The bomb was found in 2019 at the bottom, Piast Canal.
It is the place that connects the Baltic Sea with the Oder River.
Then Poland planned to take the explosives in the bomb, but instead the giant bomb exploded.
Grzegorz Lewandowski, spokesman for the Polish military, said there were no fatalities in the large explosion.
Because it takes place underwater and the divers are at a safe distance.
However, the bomb, also known as the “earthquake bomb”, still caused buildings in the town of Swinoujscie, near the scene of the explosion, to shake.
According to Lewandowski, Tallboy was the largest unexploded World War II bomb ever found in Poland.
The naval operation to deal with the bomb is expected to last 5 days.
On October 12, more than 700 residents were evacuated from an area radius of 2.6 km, from which the bomb was dumped.
However, some people refuse to leave, arguing that there is danger of contracting Covid-19 in shelters.
Because it is considered the danger is far greater than that of the World War II bomb.
Maritime traffic on the Piast Canal and surrounding waterways was suspended due to the dumping of naval bombs.
Tallboy’s “earthquake bomb” was dropped during an RAF attack on a Nazi warship in 1945.
