Overview
- Potsdam, which announced the finds Thursday, set Tuesday and Thursday for disposal by bomb expert Mike Schwitzke and his team.
- Crews found a 250‑kilogram Soviet bomb and two 25‑kilogram bombs in Wildpark West plus two 250‑kilogram U.S. bombs in forest near Michendorf.
- On April 21, teams plan to defuse the large Wildpark bomb and carry out controlled blasts on the two smaller ones.
- The 1,000‑meter cordon starts at 8:30 a.m. each day, prompting RB22 rail detours, closures on Michendorfer Chaussee, and evacuations of some buildings west of the B2.
- To secure the areas, authorities will deploy 180 staff on April 21 and 140 on April 23, in a city that has recorded more than 200 WWII devices since 1990.
