It was a five-day operation to defuse the largest-ever WW II bomb found in Poland. During the war, this earthquake bomb was dubbed the Tallboy and used by the British Royal Air Force (RAF) and weighed nearly 5,400 kg and packed 2,400 kg of explosives.
It was found in the Piast Canal which connects the Oder River and the Baltic Sea and was dropped in 1945 during an attack on the German cruiser Lutzow.
