WURZBURG, Germany — Toward the close of World War II, less than two months before Germany surrendered to the Allies in an act of submission that ended the 12-year tyranny of Nazi rule, the British air force attacked this attractive city in Lower Franconia in a devastating bombing raid.
Within a span of 17 minutes, 225 Lancaster bombers virtually levelled the medieval centre of Wurzburg, destroying and damaging residential and historical buildings and killing 5,000 people.
