The Bombing of Würzburg in World War II was a large-scale air attack on the city of Würzburg (in Franconia, in the north of Bavaria), and was part of the strategic bombing campaign by the Allies against Nazi Germany. Although lacking major armaments industries (the Würzburg radar was named after the city, but not produced there) and hosting around 40 hospitals at the time, Würzburg was targeted as a traffic hub and as part of the attempt by Bomber Command to break the spirit of the German people. The major raid occurred on March 16, 1945, when Royal Air Force bombers dropped incendiary bombs that set fire to much of the city, killing an estimated 5,000 people and almost completely obliterating the historic town. Almost 90% of the buildings were destroyed by a raid that lasted less than 20

rdfs:comment	Der Bombenangriff auf Würzburg am 16. März 1945 war der schwerste von mehreren Angriffen, den die Stadt in den letzten Wochen des Zweiten Weltkriegs ertragen musste. Der Angriff dauerte 20 Minuten und wurde durch die britische Royal Air Force ausgeführt. Den Bomben fielen etwa 4000 bis 5000 Menschen zum Opfer und die historische Altstadt wurde zu 90 % zerstört. Zwei Wochen später begann die Schlacht um Würzburg durch US-Bodentruppen, die mit der Übernahme der Stadt endete. (de) Wurtzbourg fut une des dernières villes du Troisième Reich à avoir été bombardée dans les dernières semaines de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L'attaque la plus sérieuse a lieu le soir du 16 mars 1945, réalisée par la Royal Air Force. Elle fait 5 000 morts et détruit presque toute la vieille ville historique.
