Bombing of Rothenburg in World War II

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The German town of Rothenburg was more than 1,000 years old when it lost many historic buildings to air raids in World War II. On March 31, 1945, a day before Easter, a raid destroyed the eastern old town (40% of the original city).
