![]() ![]() Not in neighbouring countries, nor by the Belgian people. ![]() This was the highest civilian death count in Belgium during WWII. More than 1300 wounded, and more than 1200 houses were destroyed. Deathcount: 936 people, with 209 of them being children under 15 years old. ![]() It was a busy day, so there were a lot of people out, shopping, living their lives, children going to school, so as you can guess, there were a ton of casualties. In the end, only 4 bombs hit their intended mark. They thought that the school was the factory. But what they didn't know was that they were bombing the town centre of Mortsel, together with a nearby school. They found their target and started bombing the place, dropping more than 800 bombs on it. 83 planes of the American and the Brittish forces flew out towards Mortsel. All of this was going happen on the 5th of April, 1943. Because of this, the American forces were planning to bomb a German aircraft factory nearby. A town taken by the german forces during WWII. Anyway, there is a town in Belgium near Antwerp, called Mortsel. The reason for that will be explained further on. So I don't know if this is the best place to post this, since this is my first time posting anything on reddit, but I want to tell a story that most people have not heard about. ![]()
