Although lacking major armaments industries (the W\u00FCrzburg radar was named after the city, but not produced there) and hosting around 40 hospitals at the time, W\u00FCrzburg 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 minutes. All of the city's churches, cathedrals, and other monuments were heavily damaged or destroyed. The city center, which mostly dated from medieval times, was destroyed in a firestorm. Over the next 20 years, the buildings of historical importance were painstakingly and accurately reconstructed. The citizens who rebuilt the city immediately after the end of the war were mostly women \u2013 Tr\u00FCmmerfrauen (\"rubble women\") \u2013 because the men were either dead or still prisoners of war. On a relative scale, W\u00FCrzburg was destroyed to a larger extent than was Dresden in a firebombing the previous month."@en . . . . "Der Bombenangriff auf W\u00FCrzburg am 16.
