Overview
- Emergency crews in Hamburg-Marmstorf disposed of a World War II explosive on an industrial site near the A7.
- The item was the head of a Panzerfaust, an anti-tank weapon, with about 2.5 kilograms of TNT, according to the fire department.
- Specialists ruled the device too dangerous to move and conducted a controlled detonation at the find site.
- Police closed the A7 in both directions between the Marmstorf and Seevetal junctions during the operation, and traffic resumed soon after.
- The response followed Germany’s standard protocol for wartime ordnance, which coordinates bomb-disposal experts, firefighters, and police to limit risk and keep any disruption brief.
