A Second World War bomb found in Frankfurt in 2013. Police have described a Second World War bomb found in Frankfurt on Wednesday as posing an “acute danger.” The bomb will be defused on Thursday, leading to disruption to the transport network. The 50-kilogram weapon was found during construction work in Kölner Straße near the Frankfurt Messe area in the west of the city. There are still thousands of unexploded bombs under German cities, dropped by allied air forces during the Second World War. In September the biggest ever post-war evacuation took place in Frankfurt when a 1.8-tonne bomb was found in the city.
