He said: “My father used to have several and we played with them as boys.

“I was clearing an old room out and came across it. I had been thinking about what to do with it and friends suggested the sensible thing would be to get it disposed of sensibly. There was such a fuss - if I’d known I wouldn’t have called the police.”

Mr Pease’s father, Eric who used to live in the house but has since died, found the bomb during the Second World War while he was serving in the RAF.

Mr Pease added: “He used to collect all sorts of stuff - he was well known for it during the war.”

A spokesman for Bath police said officers received a call at 2.30pm. The Army’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit arrived at the property at 4pm and the device was taken to land near Walcot Rugby Club at Lansdown and disposed of.

    “"Prescott Sheldon Bush ... father of the [former] President George [H. W.] Bush ... was a partner in the Wall Street firm of Brown Brothers Harriman for 40 years," wrote Professor Marrs. "It was Brown Brothers Harriman that helped to finance ... the 1917 communist revolution in Moscow and the rise of Hitler and Nazism, through money made possible by it and the affiliated Guaranty Trust Company." Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands who served in an intelligence unit for the German branch of Farben was also a member of the Nazi SS. Bernhard eventually became a founding member of the Bilderbergers.

    In his book, The Rockefeller File, Gary Allen wrote, "The alliance between Nazi Germany and the Rockefellers is truly shocking." He explained, "Hitler's Luftwaffe ran on Standard petrol, and the Rockefellers were partners in I.G. Farben Industries,”

    “Professor Sutton wrote that "General Motors, Ford, General Electric, DuPont," and other "U.S. companies intimately involved with the development of Nazi Germany were ... controlled by the Wall Street elite," such as "the J.P. Morgan firm, the Rockefeller Chase Bank and to a lesser extent the Warburg Manhattan bank."

    "The deal bringing Hitler into the government was cut at the home of banker Baron Kurt von Schroeder on January 4, 1933," wrote author Marrs. Other notable figures that are said to have appeared at this meeting include Council on Foreign Relations members John Foster Dulles, and Allen Dulles, of the New York law firm Sullivan and Cromwell, which represented the Schroeder bank. Allen Dulles would eventually become a member the Bilderbergers and director of the CIA.

    "Max Warburg," stated Marrs, "a major German banker, and his brother Paul Warburg, who had been instrumental in establishing the Federal Reserve System in the United States, were directors of Interssen Gemeinschaft Farben or I.G. Farben, the giant German chemical firm that produced Zyklon B gas used in Nazi extermination camps." On the left we see used canisters of the Zyklon B gas found by the allies after WWII. The gas was apparently produced with the full support of American industrialists.

    "The financing for Adolph Hitler's rise to power was handled through the Warburg-controlled Mendelsohn Bank of Amsterdam and later by the J. Henry Schroeder Bank with branches in Frankfurt, London and New York," wrote Gary Allen. "Chief legal council to the J. Henry Schroeder Bank was the firm Sullivan and Cromwell whose senior partners included John Foster and Allen Dulles."

    Author James Perloff concurs, and reveals the role that the Council on Foreign Relations played in aiding the Nazis. He states, "In 1939, on the eve of blitzkrieg, the Rockefellers' Standard Oil of New Jersey sold $20 million in aviation fuel to ... I.G. Farben [and] even had an American subsidiary called American I.G." Describing the CFR's connection to the Nazis, he lists the directors of the American I.G. as "ubiquitous Paul Warburg (CFR founder), Henry A. Metz (CFR founder), and Charles E. Mitchell, who joined the CFR in 1923..."

    Other U.S. companies which contributed heavily to the Nazi war machine include Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH) and Union Banking Corporation (UBC), both of New York. Prescott Bush (grandfather of President George W. Bush) was a partner at BBH and director of UBC. UBC of New York, which was founded and chaired by E. Roland Harriman, is now confirmed to have been a Nazi front company.

    In a story called, Bush-Nazi Link Confirmed, on October 10, 2003, The New Hampshire Daily Gazette announced, "After 60 years of inattention and even denial by the U.S. media, newly-uncovered government documents in The National Archives and Library of Congress reveal that Prescott Bush ... served as a business partner ... for the financial architect of the Nazi war machine from 1926 until 1942." A similar article appeared in the London Guardian on September 25, 2004, it was entitled, How Bush's Grandfather Helped Hitler's Rise to Power.”

    “What many people don't realise, because it has been suppressed by the corporate, mainstream media, is that none of the Blitzes on any British (or European) cities would have been possible without the bankrolling of the N##i regime by Wall Street and the City of London, and especially without billionaire bankster Mr Rockefeller and his Standard Oil company that sold $20 million of aviation fuel to the N##is, without which their Blitzkrieg and Blitzes would have been impossible. I will copy and paste some of the detail from the website linked below as occasionally the website link gets broken (website name is "The Hidden Evil: Wall Street Funded the N##is):

    http://tinyurl.com/bh8blf8

    "In his book, Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler, Professor Antony Sutton author of nineteen books, provides a thoroughly documented account of the role played by Morgan, Rockefeller, General Electric Company, Standard Oil, National City Bank, Chase and Manhattan banks, Kuhn, Loeb and Company, General Motors, Ford, and other industrialists, in helping to finance the N##is. To prove his point, Professor Sutton provides bank statements, letters from U.S. ambassadors, mainstream media sources, Congressional Records, excerpts from Congressional Investigations, and statements from the Nuremberg trials. Wall Street's funding of the N##is is part of authentic history.”

    “I should have known it wasn't going to be as exciting as the headline implied. Not a 2,000lb Luftwaffe blockbuster but a tiddler the size of a litre of pop.”

    “I think it was quite common in the war, lots of parents gave their children bombs and sent them off to play with them at the end of the garden.”
