Thousands Evacuated in Central Berlin After WWII Bomb Found—A Stark Reminder of Europe’s Lingering Dangers

By National Security Desk | September 19, 2025

Thousands evacuated in central Berlin after a WWII bomb was found in the Spree River. While Europeans confront remnants of their past, America must stay vigilant against threats that challenge our sovereignty and safety.

In the heart of Berlin, a city still shadowed by the legacy of global conflict, several thousand residents were forced from their homes in the early hours of Friday following the discovery of an unexploded World War II bomb submerged in the Spree River.

Authorities swiftly responded to this latent threat by evacuating a 500-meter radius around Fischerinsel Island, disrupting not only local residents but also tourists caught unaware by the emergency. Over 800 individuals sought refuge in emergency shelters set up at Berlin’s City Hall.

Fortunately, police reports later confirmed that expert divers and bomb disposal units deemed the device non-dangerous after careful extraction—allowing displaced citizens to return home without incident. Yet this episode underscores a broader reality: Europe’s unresolved wartime dangers continue to pose risks years after peace was declared.

How Does This Affect America’s National Security?

While our allies grapple with century-old remnants beneath their streets and waters, America faces evolving threats—both seen and unseen—that demand constant vigilance to protect our national sovereignty. The discovery of dormant bombs across European capitals serves as a metaphor for the hidden dangers lingering within globalist policies that undermine borders and national interests here at home.

How long will Washington allow foreign entanglements and open borders to weaken our defenses while we watch old battlegrounds resurface abroad? The contrast is stark when compared to America First strategies championed during President Trump’s administration, which prioritized securing our borders, rebuilding military strength, and resisting international overreach.

An Urgent Call for Common-Sense Security Measures

This incident should remind every American why unwavering commitment to national security is essential—not only from external threats but also from complacency. Just as German citizens were quickly evacuated to safeguard lives from a forgotten weapon, so too must U.S. policymakers proactively shield our communities from emerging dangers.

The aftermath of war can last generations; preparedness ensures freedom endures. The resilience demonstrated by Berliners returning safely home parallels the spirit Americans must embrace: vigilant, united, and steadfast in defending liberty on all fronts.
