Bombardování Svratky

Diskuse

As I was walking through the square in the town of Svratka (Žďár nad Sázavou district), I was fascinated by a memorial plaque on the square, where it is written that on May 9, 1945, 2 houses were destroyed at this place during the bombing of Svratka and this square was built in their place.


Does anyone have more detailed information about this raid? What was going on in Svratka? who and why bombed Svratka on May 9, 1945 (de facto after the war)?

Hello, it was undoubtedly Soviet aircraft, which also attacked in other places on May 8 and 9 (Velké Meziříčí, Nové Město na Moravě, Velká Bíteš, Mladá Boleslav, Hrotovice, etc.).

According to the authors of the publication "The Last Action" (K. Foud et al.; p. 148) the attack on Svratka was made by four Fw 190s!!! Filnorm
