- Bombing_of_Frampol abstract "The Bombing of Frampol occurred during the German invasion of Poland in 1939. On 13 September, the town of Frampol, with a population of 4,000, was bombed by the German Luftwaffe as a practice run for future missions. Over 60% to 90% of the town's infrastructure was completely destroyed; only two streets remained untouched, including some houses on the outskirts. Frampol was destroyed by bombers of Luftwaffe's 8th Air Corps, under General Wolfram Freiherr von Richthofen. According to Polish historians Pawel Puzio and Ryszard Jasinski, no units of the Polish army were stationed in Frampol, and the town did not have any military facilities.The first German reconnaissance plane appeared over Frampol on 9 September 1939 taking reconnaissance photographs of the location then on 11 and 12 September, the town was bombed. The first raids did not cause any significant damage, but the subsequent bombing on 13 September completely destroyed the town. The Luftwaffe likely selected Frampol for an experimental bombing since the town had an extensive market square, with a grid plan, making it appear as a large "bullseye", and there were no anti-aircraft units located at Frampol. According to historian Norman Davies 125 bombers dropped 700 tons of explosives during bombing, which lasted for several hours. Furthermore, German fighter pilots trained strafing techniques on refugees who were trying to flee from the city. Frampol lost 90% of its buildings destroyed and half of the population as casualties. After the bombing, on 18 September, a German reconnaissance plane again appeared over Frampol to take photographs of the destruction.Historian Norman Davies writes in Europe at War 1939–1945: No Simple Victory: "Frampol was chosen partly because it was completely defenceless, and partly because its baroque street plan presented a perfect geometric grid." Also, in his book, Eyes on the Sky, Wolfgang Schreyer wrote: "Frampol was chosen as an experimental object, because test bombers, flying at low speed, weren't endangered by AA fire. Also, the centrally placed town hall was an ideal orientation point for the crews. We watched possibility of orientation after visible signs, and also the size of village, what guaranteed that bombs nevertheless fall down on Frampol. From one side it should make easier the note of probe, from second side it should confirm the efficiency of used bombs."The bombing of Frampol plays an important part in the short story "The Little Shoemakers" by Isaac Bashevis Singer.".
