Heaviest Bomb to Fall on Britain Weighs Nearly Two Tons

Item

One of the heaviest bombs the Nazi air force has used against Britain is a giant, nicknamed “Satan,” which failed to explode. It weighs 3,968 pounds, a few pounds less than two tons. The fins of this dud were broken off when it struck, but originally it measured 13 feet 3 inches in length, and 2 feet 3 inches in diameter.
