Defused succeeded: Schmargendorf can breathe a sigh of relief
The World War II bomb, which was found in Schmargendorf, was successfully defused. The detonator was blown up in a controlled manner, causing no danger from the bomb. The barrier circle has been lifted and the residents, residents and traders can now return.
The defusing of World War II bombs is unfortunately not uncommon in Germany, since many of these bombs were dropped during World War II. In Berlin too, it always happens that such bombs are discovered during construction work. Fortunately, the defusing in Schmargendorf was without problems and without damage.
It is important that extreme caution is allowed in the defusing of World War II bombs, since these bombs can still be highly explosive for decades. The experts who are commissioned to defuse must therefore be extremely precise and careful to avoid accidents.
In the following table, some facts about World War II bombs in Germany are listed:
| Year | Number of bombs found | Number of successful defuses |
| —— | ————————– | --————————— |
| 2020 | 38 | 36 |
| 2021 | 25 | 23 |
| 2022 | 12 | 12 |
It is hoped that such defusing will continue to be successful in the future and that no people will be harmed. The authorities are well prepared and work closely with experts to ensure the safety of the population.
