Presentation

 

Over 300 million mines have been placed during the Second World War. The engineer troops had to make the fields and paths passable back again.

​

Starting in 2019 in Le Recollectif, the US Mine-clearing speech explains the role of Woodwrow W. Rogers, a Texan soldier member of the 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion. The visitors can discover his job : detecting and neutralising mines. Starting in 2020, a SCR-625 detector will be available for the public to try and detect German mines. Beware of the (unlucky) discoveries !
