[DBS]Hycel Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 And in 7.11.1941 - Soviet hospital ship Armenia was sunk by German planes while evacuating refugees and wounded military and staff of several Crimean hospitals. It is estimated that over 5,000 people died. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_hospital_ship_Armenia
[DBS]El_Marta Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Hi Hycel! I hope you are doing fine. Thank god forced mortability in europe has significantly decreased since then. Let all of us hope it stays like this. Even if the "bill" is not balanced.
Docjonel Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 It's amazing how many people died in little known events during the war. My relatives live in Pforzheim, Germany. On February 23, 1945 a Lancaster raid on that town killed 17,600 people! Can you imagine how much news coverage a catastrophe of that order would get today? Yet it is basically an unknown event. It' hard to wrap your head around the casualty counts of WW2.
