I wonder what they thought when it started prolly "OH HELL IT"S TICKING NOW!!! "

Fudge.

they destroyed a perfectly good long-delay clockwork fuse.

those are highly, highly prized by collectors. I wonder why they didn't use it for practice and take it apart. They knew how to do it back then so why not do it now?

I wonder why they didn't just let it blow itself up...they were gonna do it anyways....

In the area around Berlin, where I live we have still a lot of trouble with bombs, mines, grenades and so on. In some areas like "Bombtown" Oranienburg evacuations of the people are all day situations.

If someone wants to build a new house or something he had to let check first if there are critical things in the earth. During war time "Heinkel-Werke" and "Auerwerke" (Gasmasks) were producing there. So it was an attractive bomb target for the Allies-
