Luftangriffe auf Wesel Bombing of Wesel in World War II Flygräderna mot Wesel
rdfs:comment
Royal Air Force (RAF) genomförde 1945, under andra världskriget flygräderna mot Wesel. Staden Wesel bombades för att man skulle understöja de brittiska trupper som skulle korsa floden Rhen. Genom dessa bombräder blev staden förstörd till 97 %. The German town of Wesel was heavily bombed in Allied air raids during World War II. Between this and the attacks in support of the crossing of the Rhine, the town was devastated. Wesel became a target of the Allies, particularly in its strategic position with a depot and the Wesel Railway Bridge over the Rhine. On the 16, 17, 18 and 19 February 1945, the town was attacked by the British Royal Air Force with impact and air-burst weapons and almost entirely destroyed.

Die Royal Air Force (RAF) führte 1945 im Zweiten Weltkrieg Luftangriffe auf Wesel durch. Die Stadt Wesel wurde zur Unterstützung der Überquerung des Rheins durch britische Truppen bombardiert. Bei diesen Angriffen wurde die Stadt zu 97 % zerstört. The German town of Wesel was heavily bombed in Allied air raids during World War II. Between this and the attacks in support of the crossing of the Rhine, the town was devastated. Wesel became a target of the Allies, particularly in its strategic position with a depot and the Wesel Railway Bridge over the Rhine. On the 16, 17, 18 and 19 February 1945, the town was attacked by the British Royal Air Force with impact and air-burst weapons and almost entirely destroyed. The Rhine and Lippe bridges were blown by the Wehrmacht, among others, on 10 March 1945. The 1,950m long railway bridge was the last Rhine bridge remaining in German hands. On 23 March, Wesel came under the fire of over 3,000 guns when it was bombarded anew, in preparation for Operation Plunder. That day 80 Lancasters from No. 3 Group RAF attacked Wesel. Then that night of 23/24 March, 195 Lancasters and 23 Mosquitos of RAF Bomber Command No. 5 Group aided in the softening up of the German defenders. 97% of the town was destroyed before it was finally taken by Allied troops and the population had fallen from almost 25,000 in 1939 to 1,900 in May 1945. The town was taken quickly with 36 civilian casualties. Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, commanding the Anglo-Canadian 21st Army Group, said "the bombing of Wesel was a masterpiece, and was a decisive factor in making possible our entry into the town before midnight."
