AZUZ: A World War II bombing caused the evacuation of 50,000 people. It doesn't sound like much of a current event, except when you hear that the evacuation was made on Sunday.
In northwestern Germany, about 10 percent of the residents of Hanover had to leave their homes earlier this week. Construction crews recently found three unexploded bombs in the city. The BBC says they were dropped by the British during World War II. One of them was especially hard to defuse because it was so damaged. Officials were able to do it and no one was hurt.
Evacuations like this have had to be made before in Hanover. The city was hit by 261,000 allied1 bombs on one night alone in 1943. Evacuations and occasionally deadly blast2 have been caused by bombs throughout Germany in the decades since the war.
