The world war II bomb
People have been left in serious fear after a 'scary' world war II bomb was discovered in a city in Germany.
Almost 10,000 people were forced to leave their homes in central Potsdam on Wednesday as authorities defuse a World War II bomb.
The 250-kilogramme U.S. aerial bomb was found on Monday on the
grounds of a bank opposite the city’s main train station, resulting in
the cancellation of rail and public transport services during the
peak-hour period.
The authorities cleared an area of about 800 metres around where
the bomb was located in the centre of the city, just south-west of the
Berlin city limits.
Businesses and services within the evacuation zone were affected,
including several nursing homes, schools and daycare nurseries as well a
large hotel, a swimming pool and the regional parliament building.
World War II, also known as the Second World War, was a global war
that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although related conflicts began earlier.
It involved the vast majority of the world’s countries—including
all of the great powers—eventually forming two opposing military
alliances: the Allies and the Axis.
It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries.
