Vernielingen: IJmuiden - A black and white photo of a city street

The most significant German bombing was the bombing of Rotterdam on May 14, 1940, which was carried out by the German Luftwaffe as part of their invasion of the Netherlands. The bombing destroyed much of the city's center and killed over 800 people. In 1945 there were several bombing attacks by the Allied powers. This album is about the aftermath of the British and American bombings.
