WWII Bomb Hunters

The film presents a stark look at the legacy of the Allies' bombing campaigns during World War II, revealing that over 5 million bombs were dropped on Nazi Germany, with one in ten failing to detonate. Each year, bomb disposal teams find approximately 5,000 undetonated ordnances, necessitating the evacuation of tens of thousands of civilians from affected areas.

With an average of 100 World War II bombs cleared each week, the documentary showcases the vital work performed by these teams, illustrating the ongoing dangers that linger long after the war has ended. Christoph Drobig leads the narrative, providing insight into the challenges faced by those on the front lines of this hazardous profession.
