Firefighters and air defence soldiers on duty extinguishing fires in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, pictured on April 4, 1944, during the war. On April 1, 1944, the city of Schaffhausen and its surroundings were targeted by US-American combat aircraft due to misguided navigation. After bomber squadrons consisting of “Liberator” fighter jets dropped 371 incendiary and explosive bombs on the city near the German border, many large fires had broken out. 40 people died
