> As the article mentioned, it took a direct hit from a bomb during WW II but it landed in the pool so the building survived.

Pools near me (New Zealand) have ‘no bombing’ signs. I wonder if the jump-into-pool-holding-knees manoeuvre is called ‘bombing’ in German?



It is and there's the variant where you go bottoms first which is called... "Arschbombe" - "Ass-Bomb".


Known as a "Manu" in NZ and sometimes performed with a rugby ball for spectacular effect.

In the US we call it a cannonball! Splooosh!


Yes it is
