And fairly regularly French farmworkers are killed by ww1 shells - there is also a similar area near Berlin with a lot of unexploded ww2 ordinance

An ever present problem, I believe Cambodia is one of the places with the largest amount of Unexploded Ordinance:

Oh, that's creepy - where is that area near Berlin? (Berliner here)
The eastern side where the main soviet attack came from in the battle of Berlin in 45 - there was massive bombardment a lot of which went into the ground and did not detonate.
