Third World War II Bomb Found at Dresden’s Carolabrücke This Month

The latest bomb, discovered during construction work, was safely removed without incident as it lacked detonators.

A third World War II-era bomb was uncovered at Dresden’s Carolabrücke during ongoing construction work, marking the second discovery in two days and the third this month.
The 250-kilogram bomb, of American origin, was found to be missing its detonators, rendering it safe for transportation and removal.
Specialists from the bomb disposal unit quickly assessed and secured the site, lifting temporary closures in the area shortly after.
January has seen multiple bomb discoveries at the Carolabrücke, highlighting the persistent presence of unexploded wartime ordnance in Dresden, a city heavily bombed in 1945.
The bomb's discovery prompted minor disruptions, including a rerouting of a memorial march for a fallen police officer, attended by hundreds of law enforcement personnel.
