Nazi bomb unearthed in Coventry England.

A Nazi bomb has been uncovered at a construction site in Coventry, forcing evacuations, 75 years after it was dropped by German bombers. Pictured is Coventry after the raid.
















The British army is reportedly dealing with an unexploded bomb from World War II. Cordons were in place around the scene in Coventry, after the Nazi munition was unearthed yesterday at a construction site, The Coventry Telegraph reported. It said the size of the bomb was estimated to be about one tonne.

It's believed the Nazi explosive is called 'The Hermann'. It was designed to blow out the walls of buildings and was thought to be suited to bringing down factories.

They were so large you could only carry two in one German Heinkell 111 bomber - rather than more than 1,000 incendiary devices. A controlled explosion would be carried out by the military, West Midlands Police said in a statement.

Some university students and residents had been evacuated. The German blitz on Coventry 75 years ago lasted 11 hours and involved nearly 500 Luftwaffe bombers, The Telegraph reported. The operation was codenamed "Moonlight Sonata".
