Set of pictures of scattered buildings as consequences of two raids of the 8th Air Force against the town of Karlovy Vary (Karslbad in German) from the archive of the renown photographer Jaroslav Houf has been made available.
A shot showing a destroyed bus at what is now the public transportation terminal within a short distance of the marshalling yards is also included. I have just received the picture in higher resolution from the site administrator so that many bullet holes are clearly visible. As far as I know at least two strafing attacks were reported in Karlovy Vary: on April 17 and May 4, 1945.
