Hate to piss on anyone's chips,but looking at the pic of the "shrapnel" more closely,it has phillips screws in it,not invented in 1944,and what appears to be remains of a bulldog clip,and various pins,nails etc.I think the crematorium workers were taking the piss,and these are the remains of coffins,and the various clips and pins used to hold the interior material in place.Comment

My excuse is that it was the tabloids that reported it. I'm only the messenger.

Spot on John, Electromagnetic disguising;Originally posted by madhouse View Post
Although it sounds like it comes straight out of a sci-fi flick, the Allies researched the degaussing of ships quite heavily during WW2. The primary goal was to render the ship undetectable, and invisible, from magnetically fused undersea mines and torpedoes. The degaussing of a ship involved the generation of a powerful electromagnetic field onboard. The Canadian and British Royal navies spent large amounts of time doing tests and research on degaussing — in fact, the conduits from the degaussing system built in the HMS Belfast in London, can still be seen today. Many people also believe the electromagnetic degaussing attempt on the USS Engstorm might have influenced the story of the famous “Philidelphia Experiment.”
Any idea of this extraordinary bomb? Name? Note the aircraft.Non nobis Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam

Re: Photo quiz
Barnes Wallis (Sir) besides the bouncer ,invented two megga hard bombs the 12000 lb TallBoy to sink the Tirpitz , and the 22000 lb GrandSlam or earthquake bomb to attack the Arnsberg viaduct and also hardened V2 sites. The RAF Lancaster was the only plane that could carry the beasts.9 Independent Parachute Squadron Royal Engineers ....sounds good to meComment
