59 Soviet-made World War II grenades found in Berlin forest

"It seems like there was more than just wood in the Pankow Forest," the police wrote on social media.

The grenades are 122 millimeters in caliber and weigh a total of 1.5 tons.

"One by one, the grenades are professionally secured, recovered and transported away - a quiet, highly focused operation deep in the forest," the police wrote.

Pankow is a district in northern Berlin. The area was cordoned off during police work, but there was no indication at any time that there was any danger to the public.
