Bombing of Ulm in World War II
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The city of Ulm was heavily bombed during World War II. The heaviest air raid was on December 17, 1944, which killed and injuring hundreds but left 25,000 people homeless. By the end of the war, 81% of the city center was destroyed. Only 1,763 out of 12,756 buildings were intact. But the Ulm Münster (Cathedral) still towered above the ruins, as it was left intact by Allied bombers who utilized it as a navigational landmark. Water-filled bomb craters covered the ground, following the rain. The rubble was so thick that walking was almost impossible.
