Stuttgart faced 53 air raids during World War II. A well-known raid was on 6 September 1943. 338 American heavy bombers attacked the city but losses were heavy and results dissappointing.

[edit] Raid in 1945

Stuttgart was totally flattened by the raid on April 22, 1945. The city was an important industrial centre, but most targets were non-military and purely cultural. The attacks leveled 60% of all buildings. Many historic buildings collapsed.

[edit] Trivia

  • 52.972 million cubic feet of rubble was formed.
  • 1,198 women and girls were raped following the occupation of the city by the French.
