Here's my attempt at Google translation:http://translate.google.com/?hl=en&tab=wT Apparently, this man's brother offered to help! Their mother, with whom they lived, was unharmed. Couldn't he have just sold it in ONE piece?? He tried to saw the damn thing in HALF!!!! FAIL! Anyway, it shows the high quality that went into WWII munitions...thanks, Sebastian!
