Bombing of Sandhurst Road School : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bombing of Sandhurst Road School The Sandhurst Road School Disaster was an air raid on a school in Minard Road, Catford, south east London on Wednesday, 20 January, 1943. A German fighter-bomber dropped a bomb on the school at 12.30 pm, killing 32 children and six staff and injuring another 60 people. Many were buried for hours under the rubble, and six more children died in hospital. ==The attack== The German attack was part of a raid by 28 Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-4U3 fighter-bombers escorted by Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters, which took off at noon from an airfield in German-occupied France. The planes were to attack any targets of opportunity in what the Germans called a ''Terrorangriff'' ("terror raid"). The German pilot who attacked the school was ''Hauptmann'' Heinz Schumann (born 29 November 1914, killed in action 8 November 1943) from ''Jagdgeschwader 2''. He was flying a Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-4 carrying a single 500 kg SC500 bomb. It is debated whether Schumann deliberately targeted the school, or simply attacked what looked like a large factory (the school was several stories high). Chris Goss's book about the "Mini-Blitz" or the "Tip-and-run" raids includes a Luftwaffe "Action Report" for this raid.〔 Chris Goss ''Luftwaffe Fighter-Bombers Over Britain: The Tip and Run Campaign, 1942-43'', Crecy 2003〕 The report mentions that a large building was targeted and destroyed in the raid and noted as a block of flats. Goss also says that the RAF had bombed Berlin three days before this terror-raid which was a retaliation raid demanded by Hitler.
