So did they. They had bombs that could destroy an entire block of buildings or flats. They were called 'Block busters' and they had bombs that didn't do much physical damage but focused more on accelerating fire making putting fires out a MAJOR pain in the ass! I can't remember the name of that type of bomb but it was a very VERY sick weapon! Often the bombs would fail to explode only for you to find out later and go 'Mommy look what I found!!!' BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!! OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

Thanks! I knew it had a funny name to it! The bombs were a pain to put out and many times wouldn't blow up no matter how hard you shake it till it was properly disposed of often by civilians as authorities were far too busy to deal with random unexploded bombs and told civilians what steps to take if they ever encounter one.

Even in the 90s when I was young people were sometimes discovering unexploded WW2 bombs. One person drove it to the police station to declare it. I thought it was the funniest thing. The police knew the man's history and didn't arrest him and told him instead how dangerous that was.
