Netflix’s latest war movie about a raid gone wrong. It’s a film that’s so bleak and disturbing, it begs the question: is this real?
Germany occupied Denmark.
A British raid gone wrong
In the middle of the raid, a de Havilland Mosquito — a type of British aircraft — hit a lamp post. That miscalculation was enough to damage the plane’s wing, causing it to crash into the Jeanne d’Arc School. The horror didn’t stop there. Several other bombers in the second and third waves mistakenly took the school for their target.
This onslaught resulted in the deaths of 125 civilians. Eighteen of those victims were adults, many were nuns, and a staggering 86 of those deaths were children.
