Bombing of the Gestapo headqarter in Odense.

[Ch.Wirth]

Gestapos headqarter in Odense was bombed by the allies the 17april - 1945.
The Germans got warned, so no loses there.
9 Danish civilian died, caused by unprecise bombing.
4 prisoners escaped from their cells, but only to run right in the arm of the Germans...

Comments and ideas are more than welcome

Mvh Søren.

Interesting indeed, is it my bad eye sight or are some of the rescue workers wearing reissued Russian lids

Gestapo HQ Photos

If I'm not mistaken, some of the rescue workers are wearing the Danish m 23 helmet, not Russian lids.

Cheers,

Impressive photo series!

The attack 17 APR 1945 on the Gestapo HQ Odensen/Denmark was carried out by the 464 RAAF Sqdn with Mosquitos.

Many thanks for showing these photos. I have been looking into the Gestapo in Denmark quite a bit lately so I really appreciate seeing these. Thank you.

The severed leg looks to me like it has a child's or ladies shoe?

I'm wondering if the smaller white bundle on the floor next to the larger white bundle may be the remains of a child?

[chrischa]

Very interesting.

Do we know how the Germans were warned of the attack? (I.e. interception of radio message, traitor, etc).

Is the the damaged building a civillian's house?

I agree with Ross, the leg photo sums up a lot.

Thanks for sharing Soren.

Chris.

I agree that the helmets proplely are Danish helmets, they are wery simular the the Russian helmets..
In the last picture there is a man on the right, dressed in black.
He got at armband at his left arm.. wondering who he could be
