Aerial view of Wesel, Germany, after WW2 bombing
Feb. 29 Wesel, Westphalia, Germany, the city where Peter Minuit, founder of New York, was born in the 16th century was completely destroyed during World War II and it was quite an irony that American bombers had the order to erase this city. This air picture was made by American Air Force shortly before the end of the war and published in the New York Times
