Bombs Away – The bombing of Schaffhausen

Synopsis
On the morning of 1 April 1944, a squadron of Allied bombers flew over the Swiss border. With scarce fuel reserves for the return flight and a lack of experience, they unloaded their bomb load over the next visible target of opportunity. Tragically, 40 people were killed in Schaffhausen as a result. This documentary film recounts the events surrounding that fateful day.

Festival Status: Winner, Best Feature Documentary.
