36 In all 69 people died and 89 were injured as 112 HE and machine gun fire reigned down on the city.

37 An excerpt from the book ‘Norwich Under Fire’ by George Swain states: ‘By the end of 1944 we had more than 1,450 alerts. 670 high-explosive bombs and 25.000 incendiary bombs: 330 of us had been killed and 1,100 wounded: 30.000 homes had been damaged, more than 2.000 of them beyond repair.’

38 Walther Darré, born 14 July 1895 at Belgrano, Buenos Aires, Argentina, was arrested in 1945 at Flak-Kaserne Ludwigsburg and tried him at the subsequent Nuremberg Trials as one of 21 defendants in the Ministries Trial 1947-1949). He was charged under seven counts and found guilty on three of these, including atrocities and offences committed against civilian populations between 1938 and 1945. Darré was sentenced to seven years but was released in 1950. He died on 5 September 1953 of liver cancer.
