World War II bomb explodes in Germany, killing worker. <http://articles.chicagotribune.com/201401-03/news/sns-rt-us-germany-bomb-2014/03-1-wartime-bomb-construction-worker-explodes>
This image shows a bomb in Germany. It shows what the bomb looks like the shape, color, and
size. It is a very interesting image that shows what a bomb in World War II looks like. It has a
huge bulky shape with a grayish color to it. Looking almost like a oval. I assume that it took lots
of work to build it, and that they have only slightly improved them from then until now making
adjustments to the size and power. This is one of the types of bombs that ended up killing
millions of people.
