1944-06-06 09:30 D-day | Caen bombed
A bombing that targeted bridges over the Ome mistakenly destroys the Caen city centre. Surprised at lunchtime, the Caennais do not have time to run for shelter. The raid lasts only ten minutes, but the damage is considerable and results in many casualties. Other Norman towns are bombed.
