Bombing of Zagreb in World War II

The bombing of Zagreb in World War II was carried out by the Allies from 1944 until 1945. According to a 1950 census of war victims, a total of 327 people were killed by bombing.[1]

Over the course of the bombing, the areas of Črnomerec, Borongaj and Pleso were hit the hardest.[2] Borongaj was targeted as a location of a military airfield.[3]

On February 22, 1944, a Dominican monastery was hit by the bombing, resulting in the deaths of eight theology students.[4] In response to these deaths, archbishop of Zagreb Aloysius Stepinac sent a letter to the British ambassador to the Holy See.[5]

On May 30, 1944, 100 bombs were dropped on Borongaj, each weighing 250 kg.[6][7]

In 2007 and 2008, unexploded ordnance was found in Maksimir during construction.[8][9] In 2008 a bomb was found in the nearby town of Sveta Nedelja.[10]
