A Debreceni Helyi Vasút és a Debrecen-Nyírbátor Vasút Részvénytársaság bombakárai 1944. június 2-án

Abstract

Debrecen’s marshalling yard and railway facilities were dealt with an over whelming air raid by the US Air Force on 2 June 1944. As the result of the attack, the town also sustained major damage. However, out of the keyparts of the industrial and transport infrastructure, only Debrecen’s transport company sustained irreparable damage. In my study, with the help of archive resources, I represent the lines and sites of the Debrecen Local Railway and the Debrecen Nyírbátor Railway Public Limited Company, the catastrophic bombing damage of 2 June 1944, the aftermath of the bombing, and the steps take into restart transport.
