Fire-fighting work by the fire brigade on Frauengasse in Schaffhausen after the bombing. On April 1, 1944, the city of Schaffhausen and its environs became the target of American air raids due to misguided navigation. After bomber squadrons consisting of Liberator bombers dropped at least 371 incendiary and explosive bombs on the city near the German border, numerous large fires broke out. Forty people are killed. Compare also the picture of Frauengasse with picture number: 207991126 after reconstruction 1954.
