13-Foot Torpedo Washes Up on German Beach

A 13-foot German torpedo from World War II has washed up on a beach along the Baltic coast, police said.

The torpedo was found early Wednesday by a cleaning crew at Timmendorf Beach, Luebeck police spokesman Detleff Riedel said. Police secured the area and explosives experts were called.

Experts said it was a German torpedo made during World War II. Only the midsection fuel tank washed ashore. The explosive warhead was not attached.
