Strange and highly dangerous: a found war relic was used as a doorstop on a construction site. "It could have seriously injured workers," says a bomb expert. The "Krone" knows the background to how this action came about.

You have actually already seen everything that the Second World War left behind in terms of dangerous remnants. But during an operation in the St. Pölten district, even the experienced bomb experts from EOD Munitionsbergung could hardly believe their eyes.
