This weekend, a large section of the German city of Koblenz will come to a standstill as bomb experts gingerly defuse a massive World War II bomb that recently emerged from the Rhine River due to low water levels. Almost half of the residents will be evacuated, the largest such operation in the city's history.

Unexploded ordnance from World War II frequently turns up in German communities, and sometimes authorities are forced to evacuate small areas to dispose of the dangerous explosives. But a large bomb that recently surfaced in the Rhine River has sparked security measures of historic proportions in the central German city of Koblenz.

Three meters (10 feet) long and weighing 1.8 tons, the aerial bomb was recently spotted after a particularly dry November lowered water levels along the busy river. Now preparations are underway for a massive evacuation set for Sunday.

Some 45,000 residents -- nearly half of the city's total population of 106,000 -- will be forced to leave the area. That includes two hospitals, seven retirement homes and the jail. To aid in the operation, the city has organized some 900 people and 350 vehicles to ferry residents to safety.

Each household included in the evacuation will be notified via flier, he said. "And on Sunday we'll go ringing from house to house," he added. Emergency workers need a 1.8-kilometer (1.1-mile) radius buffer zone to ensure safety.

Wow... can't imagine that because we Americans have pretty much been insulated from any full scale war on our soils.

Farmers would find various unexploded explosives nearby in Butner/Berea in North Carolina years ago, and maybe not so long ago: http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/News/News.asp?id=17

As much as I hate to disagree that one was started by not so dear Adolf, Mussolini joined in, and the Emperor of Japan was doing what he was doing. So in a nutshell, those were the ones who started off the hostilities. Korea was started off by the North side, and the country has been two ever since. Vietnam was started off by the French Foreign Legion messing with them, and we all lost a good portion of our own population from it. I remember Vietnam from growing up with it, and having a cousin there. And, we were all involved in the Cold War, with our former allies the Russians being behind the opposition, and being the opposition. Fun times they were. Now we have the darn Muzzies.

If you want a PM9, you should talk to SDForce. His whole squad had bad experiences with them.

There's been a long tradition of automakers giving cars to the police departments in whatever municipalities they have facilities in and Volkswagen is no different. Now that Volkswagen of America has moved its headquarters from Michigan to Virginia, the Herndon police department has received a pair of new Passats – a modified sedan and wagon for use by the local constabulary.

The standard 2.0-liter TSI (turbocharged and direct injected) inline-four has been beefed up for its new role, raising output from 200 horsepower and 207 pound-feet to 250 hp and 299 lb-ft. The four-cylinder police vehicles get the larger brakes from the 3.6-liter V6 versions, as well as 18-inch wheels with Pirelli performance tires. FMS Automotive built special enclosures for the communications equipment to make it look like a standard Passat. Volkswagen has not given any indication whether it plans to get into the regular police vehicle market when the new U.S.-built Passat arrives next year, but we're guessing that it's going to take a pass on trying to corner the cop-car market.

VW Donates Diesel Jettas To Tennessee Police

Police departments rarely utilize diesel-powered vehicles for patrol cars, and even fewer use Volkswagens – at least here in the U.S. But thanks to a new donation from VW, the City of Chattanooga and Hamilton County may consider the value of a diesel-powered VW yet.

According to Hickory Volkswagen Dealers, Volkswagen is building a plant in Tennessee to build the upcoming replacement for the Passat, code named New Midsize Sedan (NMS). In an effort forge strong ties with its new neighbors, Volkswagen donated two Jetta SportWagen TDIs each to the Chattanooga police and the Hamilton County police.

Howdy!

Stopping in for a quick minute. German police cars in the states? Why not? As long as we have access in the states to parts needed for them. But, we still need the US automakers going.

Will trade on thursday probably, the other guy is an officer too, but I found his contact via an austrian gun board.

I just need a small gun to carry when I am off duty. Dont like the USP, its too big. The G26 is nice, but also little bit too wide.
I really liked the Ruger you had during our ghetto tour, but that one and the PM9 are very hard to get here.

The officer told me, he had to pay about 1500$ for the PM9... ridicioulus isnt it? .. but at least there are the night sights on it. Always wanted a gun with night sights.

We will see, but I think I take it. Will send SDForce a PM
