the number of german people in these comments blaming the allies for all the bombs in their citys is insane. dont blame the allies, blame your F'ed up grandparents. so forgive me if im not moved by you sob stories about a leveled dresden, or the fact that you all keep having to evacuate over bombs you keep finding on a regular basis. dont blame the allies for stopping your madness, blame your grandparents for their merciless execution of 9 million jews and slavs. because of your grandparents i never got the chance to meet mine. so forgive me if i think you earned every one of those bombs.

In Italy is pretty common to find bombs, shells, old weapons etc.
I found a ww2 mortar bomb myself in a field near my house.
Once in a while someone finds a big bomb while building things and the authorities have to evacuate lots of people to remove or detonate the bomb.
Recently a guy named -Gibba- put up an entire tv show based on finding war stuff in Italy with a metal detector, it's called -metal detective-.

I oversee 2000 hektars german state forest, here in bavaria its relatively clear but even hear i find grenades or panzerfausts pretty much every month. Its very different near berlil there you can dig up an entire army worth of giant bombs, you just have to get an excevator or even by hand. Disarming is slow and people actually steal them a lot! There is a giant collectors market (illegal of course)

I-m German and when I was a child, I found one of those in our garden while playing. My parents called the police and the bomb squad arrived shortly after and put our block on lockdown. Since then, I have been affected by at least 7 different evacuations and lockdowns due to unexploded bombs. Fun times

The south of the city of Ghent in belgium gets evacuated every few years. Once they evacuated ten thousands on christmas eve I was scared at first but got used to it after the 2th & 3th time. After that everyone got a map in their post bus showing the danger zones with color codes or something.

the 2016 bomb in augsburg was defused around chrismas so they could evacuate everyone by telling them to go celebrate chrismas with family outside the potential destruction radius. but given the experience with RAF bombs noone was really afraid of it

2: 50 oh damn, I grew up and then often visited dept 30 (Senlis area) in the 80s/90s - looks like some of it may be in the yellow area. Well, I've got all my limbs despite extensive treks through forests and lots of BMX-ing all around rural areas.

So no landmines should be used at the inter-Korean border? That's the reason the US never signed the -no landmine- treaty. The huge mass of landmines in the DMZ is probably one of the things keeping the wackos in the North from trying again.

During the high temperatures in 2018 or 2019, they found a bomb in a river near my dad's childhood town because it dried up (it wasn't a big river, it was basically a big stream. Children would regularly play there and swim in the water.

I live near Birmingham, England and Know of roughly around 6 unexploded bombs that have been found near here just since 2017, never really think much of it either which is questionable -

A danger with anti-personal mines is they are small enough that heavy rain can actually pick them up, move them and rebury them. Meaning they can essentially move to places considered safe.

Our landmines were (and will be) used in a sensible manner, not to mention that we are world famous for landmine removal. No weapon is evil, especially a defensive one.

Sorry I fail to agree, EVERY good consequence of war like jet planes and rocket would have still been invented without wars please. War has absolutely no justification.

8: 20 - seeing the minefield signs after seeing the 84 winter Olympics ruins, as well as the bullet holes in buildings really solidified the conflict for me.

In Denmark it's not unusual for fishing vessels to catch mustard gas mines from the war. Sometimes they just leave them on the docks for others to deal with.
