Bombs Away - The bombing of Schaffhausen
On the morning of 1 April 1944, a squadron of Allied bombers flew over the Swiss border. With scarce fuel reserves for the return flight and a lack of experience, they unloaded their bomb load over the next visible target of opportunity. Tragically, 40 people were killed in Schaffhausen as a result. This documentary film recounts the events surrounding that fateful day.
