I'd say 67+ year delay is a little over the top for a delay fuse.

Actually it was 226.8 kg as the found Bomb was a US 500lbs General Purpose.
I think that was one of the most used Bombs at those Missions, as they are the most found ones at least around Bavarian Cities like Munich, Nürnberg and Augsburg.

That is very interesting. How far did they move before they blew it up? There must be so many more like this scattered around.

Why would you bother blowing the thing up? They should have just used a "Safety Bucket(TM)" like they do in PNG!

Apparently it renders them perfectly safe!
