Re: Bomb Disposal
More than 25000 former Kriegsmarine sailors served in the German Minesweeping Administration (GSMA) after the war, removing half a million naval mines laid in the North Sea and Baltic Sea. About 350 of them died... serving as conscripts and not volunteers.
They were not protected by the Geneva Convention because they officially had the status "Surrendered Enemy Personnel" and were not treated as prisoners of war.
