The Catharina Church

After the bombardment on Wednesday the 21st of March, the city centre burned. The fire station is also hit leaving the firefighting equipment destroyed.

It takes a while before the wood lying around the church also catches fire. The wood comes from properties hit two days earlier. Then the fire spreads to the church. Residents form two long lines in an attempt to put out the fire with buckets of water. But to no avail. Burning, the spire breaks in two. One falls into the nave, the other crashes into the street with thunderous noise.
