  1. I assume by my interest in WW2 documentaries, this video was recommended for my viewing.

    I therefore put this out for anyone’s response.

    I am still concerned after all these years over mines that were placed during WW2 that could unexpectedly “turn up” and ruin someone’s day! Kill that person and/or numerous others.

    As what guarantee is offered that all were found? Some were not able to be detected by engineers, is that not true?

    And if in the ocean, are mines still adrift and a danger to ships?

    I don’t recall hearing about incidents in recent times or it’s not reported…..

    If you’re reading this, do you have any idea about what number of mines remain out of millions that were placed in the land masses, oceans & other waters?

    Deserts, where sand blows and has covered them up for decades. How many, where and how deep?

    Still having potential to injure or kill innocent people.

    No expiration date or shelf life to become harmless!
