From Warlike

Q45825724




The bombing of Gorla, also known as the Gorla massacre, was an aerial bombing attack on Gorla, a district of Milan, Italy, conducted by the United States Army Air Forces in October 1944. The bombing was precipitated when a navigational error placed an American bomber force over Gorla instead of its intended target. Taking place during a protracted campaign of strategic bombing of Milan, some 614 civilians were killed, most notably 184 children, who were at the Francesco Crispi primary school in the district.
