On the 80th commemoration of the Normandy landings, Robin des Bois publishes its 9th inventory of discoveries and blasting of unexploded ordnance after the wars.
In pyrotechnic jargon, these UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) are also known as “duds”. Fortunately, these countless duds have prevented the loss of human life and additional ruin during wars. But today, 80 years after the Allied landings in Normandy, they continue to endanger civilians and explosive ordnance disposal teams alike, and pollute soil, and surface, groundwater, and marine water. Operation Overlord became Operation Overdose. This 9th inventory covers the 5 departments of Normandy, the foreshore (i.e. the part of the coastline between the highest and lowest tides), the Bay of Seine, and the Channel Sea.
