Bits 'O History: WW II Bombs, --Spy Pie

Some New Stuff About the Old Stuff.

1. WW II BOMBS-- Two 100 kg bombs were found on the side of a Czech bridge in the town of Znajno. Construction workers found one, called in the bomb squad who found another one nearby. Both were detonated at the site (but no mention of damage to the bridge). The squad will return to look for more.

They were Russian-made but likely placed by retreating German soldiers near the end of the war. Cars have been driving over the bridge for over six decades, but the bombs posed no threat because they did not have fuses.


2. SPY PIE-- According to recently declassified documents, Julia Child was a WW II spy in OSS, a forerunner of the CIA. Other spies on the list were historian Arthur Schlesinger, John Hemingway (Ernest's son), Teddy Roosevelt's children and Miles Copeland, father of Police drummer Stewart.
