Techniques of Bomb Disposal 1942

Interesting film from 1942 showing Sapper EOD operations against air dropped munitions that end up buried deep. At the six minute point and 11 minute point you will hear the word “Wedges”. (hohoho!)  Instructional in nature, but you gotta love the brass band accompaniment at the beginning.   Also, if I’m allowed to make a poor joke, I see that the Royal Engineer Officer’s remedy for an unconscious sapper, poisoned by Carbon Monoxide is to turn him on to his front and massage his bottom (24.45).  Good to see that technique existed so long ago…
