<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 4064218, member: 28550&quot;]The Germans find a fair number of American &amp; British bombs too. Over the course of the war, the Allies dropped 3.4 million tons of ordinance on the Axis powers. The majority of that was on urban areas:</p><p><a href="https://brilliantmaps.com/uk-us-bombs-ww2/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://brilliantmaps.com/uk-us-bombs-ww2/" rel="nofollow">https://brilliantmaps.com/uk-us-bombs-ww2/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I heard that the defect rate was as high as 20% at some points in the war. If you do the math, that&#039;s a truly mind boggling amount of as-yet unexploded ordinance. After 75 years, most of that has got to be less potent than it once was... but it&#039;s also a bit trickier to defuse (or so I&#039;ve heard). </p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I&#039;d rather find 500 pounds of Roman coinage than a blockbuster bomb.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
