4000lb bomb
Hello everyone
I’m interested in knowing what happened to unexploded bombs found inside crashed allied bombers. An aircraft I’m researching crashed relatively near to a Luftwaffe airfield (Langendiebach Hanau) in early January 1945. According to the skipper, the wreckage still contained a 4000lb bomb, four 1000lb bombs and multiple target indicators. Did the Luftwaffe have a separate division for handling/deactivating/storing these enormous bomb loads? Are there any sources of Luftwaffe documentation relating to bomb retrieval? Many thanks in advance for any pointers. Neil
