On May 11, 1944, the Soviet air force executed a bombing of Lublin. The concentration camp at Majdanek was also shelled. The first bombs hit the city at 21:30, and the bombardment of Majdanek began an hour before midnight. The raid left more than 200 casualties in the city alone but didnt kill any prisoners at KL Lublin. The bombs only damaged 10 SS barracks. As Jerzy Kwiatkowski stated in his memoires, the bombing „provoked a great excitement and joy” among the prisoners. Beside we present the first page of the German report drawn up after the air raid on May 11, 1944.
