CroatiaDuring World War II, Allied forces dropped approximately 2.7 million tons of bombs on Nazi Germany and occupied territories, many of which did not explode. As a result, large numbers of unexploded ordnance remain buried across much of Europe, including Germany, where over 2,000 tons of such explosives are discovered annually. In Germany, any construction project, ranging from home renovations to railway track laying, requires official confirmation that the land has been cleared of unexploded ordnance before work begins. The article highlights the ongoing risks posed by these forgotten bombs and the precautions taken to manage them.
