US "Amazon" variant of the British "Grand Slam" earthquake... bomb dropped by B-29s on reinforced U-boat pens in Germany during post-war trials full clip: The Valentin submarine pens are a reinforced concrete facility on the Weser River at the Bremen suburb of Rekum, built to protect German U-boats during World War II. The factory was under construction from 1943 to March 1945 using forced labor, but was damaged by air-raids and unfinished by the end of the war. The Valentin factory was the largest fortified U-boat facility in Germany, and was second only to those built at Brest in France. After the war, the facility was used as a target for Project Ruby, a series of joint British and American tests to determine the viability of various munitions against reinforced concrete targets. It had been hit by British "Tallboy" and "Grand Slam" earthquake bombs during a raid on March 27th 1945 and one of the weapons tested in 1947 was "Amazon", the US variant of the 22,000 lb "Grand Slam" that weighed in at 25,000 lbs and was dropped by B-29 Superfortress bombers flying from RAF Marham in England. Fifteen such inert bombs were dropped from 17,000 feet and of these two hits were obtained on the thinner roof section that was approximately 15 feet thick. #grandslam #barneswallis #bunkerbuster #earthquakebomb #ww2 #wwiishow more
