Unexploded Bombs From the Second World War Exposed by Dunwich Wildfires
Specialist teams have made some devices safe, but the National Trust says more unexploded ordnance may remain and the reserve stays closed.
- On Monday, authorities stood down the major incident at Dunwich Heath, yet the National Trust warns the fire exposed unexploded ordnance from the Second World War's Operation Kruschen.
- The area hosted Operation Kruschen, a 1943 British military exercise designed to prepare troops for D-Day by testing methods to breach German Atlantic Wall defenses.
- Fire destroyed vegetation barriers that hid explosives for decades, creating significant risks; specialist teams have already remote-detonated a phosphorus mortar and mortar fuse found last week.
- Matt Wilson, coast and countryside manager for the National Trust's Suffolk and Essex Coast portfolio, said the site remains closed to prevent injury after staff encountered disoriented visitors.
- The National Trust has raised more than £600,000 for recovery efforts, and experts plan drone surveys to identify remaining hazards before the reserve can safely reopen.
