Image description

The mourning community stands at the open grave of the victims, who died in the bombing, at the forest cemetery in Schaffhausen on April 4, 1944, the year of war. On April 1, 1944, the city of Schaffhausen and its environs became the target of American air raids due to misguided navigation. After bomber squadrons consisting of Liberator bombers dropped at least 371 incendiary and explosive bombs on the city near the German border, numerous large fires broke out. Forty people are killed
