Crater at Baar, Germany
Hole created by explosion of powder storage cellars at Baar, Germany, 7 miles south of Ingolstadt, when Thunderbolts of the 368 Group attacked them on 24 April 1945. The pilots noticed that the huge steel doors had been left open and strafed the openings. The first explosion shot debris to 1,000 feet and the following one blew chunks of steel and concrete into the cloud later at 7,000 feet.
