Switzerland in the Second World War
On 22 February 1945, the neutral Swiss town of Stein am Rhein was mistakenly attacked by American bombers. The raid killed several civilians and destroyed parts of the historic old town – one of the most dramatic events of Switzerland's wartime experience.
Histovia Film compares historical footage with the town's present-day condition – a striking then-vs-now comparison showing how Stein am Rhein was rebuilt after the war.
The reel examines the background to the attack, its diplomatic consequences, and the traces of war still visible today in a town that was officially never a party to the conflict.
