Attention Mine! The war returnee clears at the Nissenhütte

October 1st, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

On this day, Peter Lenz, who has returned from the war, is on a mine clearance mission at the Nissenhütten.

The Second World War not only left behind immeasurable suffering and incomprehensible destruction, even after the end of the war, duds and mines remained a constant source of danger for the population. Millions of mines in the soil of the Rhineland required years of clearing work.

After the war, the British occupying army also used returning soldiers to clear the mines with technical equipment.
