At least for a few hours on Sunday.

WW2 ended 75 years ago but this shit never ends.

The city of Münster has largely completed its preparations for the largest evacuation in its history. Due to bomb disposal, up to 16,000 people will have to leave their homes on Sunday.

In the Mauritz quarter, five suspected World War II bombs are to be defused in three different areas. Therefore, no one is allowed to enter the restricted area after eight o'clock in the morning. By 10 a.m., the district is to be evacuated.


180 fire department teams will go from door to door, also to help those in need to leave their homes. Numerous patient transports are already planned. For those who cannot be accommodated privately, 2,200 places are available in several emergency shelters. A total of 1,000 helpers are on duty.


The evacuation area affected includes five old people's homes, a hospice and parts of the St. Franziskus-Hospital. Most of the affected patients can be transferred within the hospital, 20 have to be transferred to another hospital.

When the evacuation is complete, three teams from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Service will expose the last 100 centimeters of earth above the suspected five bombs at the suspected locations. Water containers have already been set up around the suspected sites as protection. It is naturally unclear when everything will be finished.

That's what happens when you have bombs being made by the lowest bidder.
Another way to look at it is how many people were NOT killed by those particular bombs.
I believe that there are other countries around the globe dealing with unexploded ordinance. Vietnam, Japan, England, Russia, etc. etc. etc.

I don't think there was any bidding going on during the 2nd World War.

Tom:
Your link on Military Procurement Policies between 1910 and 2010 have changed considerably. I suspect you didn't pay to DL and read. It isn't a good link to dispute my post.

I also suspect you didn't read the link I posted on FDR's ordering the establishment of the War Production Board, which ended October 1945.

Boise City Oklahoma was bombed during WWII. The article says only US city to be bombed. It should say only US city in the continental US and that might not be correct either.

why would someone write "100 centimeters"?

tw: maybe to give the impression that the last meter has to be removed centimeter by centimeter? No idea.

Anyway, they have found 2 bombs, 125kg and 250kg, both have been disarmed without problems:

Others were unlucky, though they may not have followed guidelines:

An Australian man and his British colleague working to map unexploded bombs across Solomon Islands have been killed in an explosion at their home in the capital Honiara.

Australian Trent Lee and Briton Stephen “Luke” Atkinson died when an unexploded ordnance is believed to have detonated shortly after 7.30pm on Sunday.
[...]
Solomon Islands was a key second world war battleground and its islands remain littered with thousands of bombs and unexploded ordnance more than seven decades later.

I am not sure bomb disposal usually includes bringing them back to your place of residence.

I would say they most certainly did not follow guidelines.
