Dumped German wartime munitions

[Stan]

Hey Adam !

Stan,
Have you read Webster's book?

I can remember reading his article in Smithsonian, where the French Department of Mines was wrapping recovered WWI 75mm chemical shells in plastic like tootsie rolls, burying them on the beach at load tide and then waiting for high tide to blow them in place.

Thanks for the book link.

We normally try and destroy larger UXO under water. This method precludes the need for 3 or 400 meters of land and sliences the detonation. It also keeps the tree huggers away

I'm certain that nowadays destroying chemical munitions in the Baltic Sea is somewhat prohibited, and Green Peace would certainly come a callin'

Regards, Stan
