They didn't say it was being confiscated; maybe it's just being removed to a museum or something.

It's funny from here, but when your neighbor has multiple hundreds of kilos of 80-year old high-explosive in his house, it becomes somewhat less amusing.

If you're not a Nazi, but he was, so fuck him.

Man, Germany has to be the fun police.

I'd love some WW2 equipment and munitions.
