Pforzheim (dpa / lsw) - A bomb from the Second World War was found in Pforzheim on Sunday. The city of Pforzheim announced on Sunday that the Soviet anti-tank missile (PPG2) was to be detonated in a controlled manner in the evening because it was unsuitable for transport. The ordnance disposal service is already on site. Pedestrians had previously found the bomb on Davosweg.
The site will be blocked in a radius of 150 meters, around 40 people would have to leave their homes, it said. The residents of Friedensstrasse, Prinz-Wilhelm-Strasse and Winsloestrasse are particularly affected. "The police and fire brigade will go door to door and inform all affected residents directly," said Mayor Dirk Büscher, according to the announcement.
