I'm posting this in the hopes of raising awareness that it wasn't just Axis forces using time delay mechanisms to kill civilians during WW2.

For quite some time I thought that only the Luftwaffe did this, but in fact the RAF also dropped bombs with time delay fuses, intended to kill civilian first responders as well as EODs.
