Bombing of Enkhuizen

The bombing of Enkhuizen took place on 15 March 1945, when four RAF Spitfires targeted German Wasserschutzpolizei boats in the city’s port. The bombs missed their targets, striking the neighbourhood instead. The raid, which lasted about two minutes, killed 24 civilians, wounded many, and caused extensive damage to the harbour district.
