Amazing to think that there are still dead people from WW2 hidden under the soil ordinary people are walking on. Reminds me how there are still unexploded shells popping up here and there in Belgium and France from WW1.

Did you hear about the Zone Rouge, which was created after WW1?

According to the Sécurité Civile, the French agency in charge of the land management of Zone Rouge, 300 to 700 more years at this current rate will be needed to clean the area completely.
