The ruins of Wurzburg.
The Bombing of Wurzburg in World War II was part of the strategic bombing campaign by the Allies against Nazi Germany. Although lacking major armaments industries (the Wurzburg radar was named after the city, but not produced there) and hosting around 40 hospitals at the time, Wurzburg was targeted as a traffic hub and as part of the attempt by Bomber Command to break the spirit of the German people. The major raid occurred on March 16, 1945 when Royal Air Force bombers dropped incendiary bombs that set fire to much of the city.
