In October 1990, this aerial bomb, equipped with a hellish rocket, was excavated and rendered safe under particularly dangerous conditions by the explosives disposal unit of the Luxembourg Army.
Upon returning from a mission to Germany in the fall of 1944, a B17F "Flying Fortress" bomber from the 8th "US Army Air Force" had to release two delayed bombs against its will, which weighed 907 kg and were loaded with 447 kg of tritonal.
In the fields near the villages of Consdorf and Breidweiler, they dug six-meter-deep bomb craters. Half a century later, a specimen was erected here to commemorate one of the most murderous wars of all time.
