Summary[edit]

Description
English: The city of Wesel, devastated by Allied bombing in preparation for the crossing of the Rhine on 22-23 March 1945.
Original description: "Walls of houses of Wesel still stand, as do the churches, but a great part of the town was destroyed when the German commander forced the Allied troops to fight their way street by street through the ruins. Germany, 1945."
Deutsch: Wesel wurde durch Flächenbombardement mit Bomben und Luftminen im Kern vollständig eingeebnet. Die dicht aneinander grenzenden Ringe kennzeichnen die hohe Dichte der Bombeneinschläge.
