The Bombing of Potsdam or Night of Potsdam took place on 14-15 April 1945, beginning at 22:16 on the night of 4. Very soon after the air raid sirens sounded, 490 heavy four-engine RAF Avro Lancaster bombers dropped approximately 1,700 tons of bombs. 1,593 Potsdam residents died during the bombing or in the flames afterward, large parts of the city centre were destroyed, almost 1,000 buildings in the city center were completely destroyed, and around 60,000 people were left homeless.
