Hello! I need some information about the Luftwaffe bombing of city Botosani from the northern Moldavia, Romania. The city Botosani was occupied in the morning of 7 april by the Soviet Troops in the context of Uman-Botosani offensive of the Red Army. Bombing of that city started at 22:00 at night on 8 april 1944, after the first day of soviet occupation, and the mainly targets was civil targets, like the Teather, one High School and one School, and the main Hospital, and very many streets and houses. Aprox. 100 people died and much more than 50 houses was partialy destroyed. I need to know everything about, if it's possible, about what Units of Luftwaffe, how many planes, who was the commander, if any aerial pictures was taken, about that event. Thanks!
