#4 We live in such a world today that in the video they have to label it an 'aerial bomb'.

#5 The must mean a 500 lb general purpose bomb (225 Kg). We did not make a 550 lb bomb in WW2.

#6 "Aerial bomb" is a literal translation of "Fliegerbombe" (hidden since 1945, of course).
It was a mean one, meant to detonate hours or even days after the attack. Given the density of population in that area, it might well have killed hundreds. We were lucky. People have been dancing on that bomb for decades. It was located one meter under the surface.

#8 A 1.5-tonne mortar bomb probably fired by Nazi forces was also safely removed from the Polish capital, Warsaw.
From AH 9418's link. Is there a bomb amnesty program running?

#9 Actually they find them all the time. The Munich bomb was a bit different because it had to be detonated in a densely populated area.

Yes. But bombe would work just as well, if there weren't so much of the local delivery kind in our world today.
And yes again, the 8th Army Air Force, a gift that keeps on giving, with an occasional surprise left by the RAF.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
