I guess that is one overlooked aspect of war! The junk, debris and broken equipment that is left behind. I wonder how long it all hung around for?

In Germany, I'm sure it didn't hang around long lol. They are neat freaks! But in Afghanistan for example, I was there in 2007 and there was still a ton of blown up tanks and old destroyed forts from the Soviets left over from the 80s
I had 5 years of living in the middle east and I noticed that they don't look after their environment. So war debris from the 80's is not a surprise really.
Germany, on the other hand, was impeccably clean when I have visited. I guess that was no surprise either! 😁
I presume most of it was collected and recycled as good and fast as they could. A lot of things were needed and there were neither the raw material nor working manufacteries in Germany. Here is an example for a colander made out of an helmet. Such things were made in small businesses that built something like a production line.
Wow. Very efficient and organised.
