Rotterdam burned
May 15th, 2007
Last night a string of very strong lights was shown on the line where Rotterdam burned down the 14th of May 1940. The duration of the bombardment was only 14 minutes. Thereafter were many fires, burning down the centre of the city.
The picture which was in the NRC, shows the firewall and the spots where the lights are.
I couldn’t see very much of it from my house, but the neigbours on the other side of the building had a very good view I suppose. It must have been very impressive.
