Image description

During the night of December 22, 1940, airplanes of the Royal Air Force bombed Zurich in Switzerland, accidentally. A bomb exploded only a few meters away from a three-family house on Limmattalstrasse street 23 in Zurich Hoengg and destroyed the eastern side of the house. People were injured and a woman is killed. An air-raid protection soldier measures the thickness of a wall segment in order to draw conclusions regarding the force of the detonation, pictured on December 23, 1940.
