Two WWII weapons shared the same “bounce” — but had totally different missions 💣🌊⚠️
The British bouncing bomb skipped across water to destroy dams during the famous Dambusters Raid, using precision physics and engineering. Meanwhile, Germany’s “Bouncing Betty” (S-mine) was an anti-personnel weapon designed to jump upward before exploding on the battlefield.
Same nickname, completely different purposes — one for strategic strikes, the other for defensive warfare. History is full of surprising contrasts.
