Great Britain's Royal Air Force began targeting this region for bombing in February 1943, and in June 1944 Americans and British pilots prioritized the destruction of Nazi oil refineries, as well as fuel and chemical factories. Wartime records describe Allied planes dropping a total of 39,137 bombs in the Ko?le Basin. Most of these were delayed-action bombs that were "intended for the destruction of buildings, reinforced concrete and metal structures, as well as land-cratering," the scientists reported March 16 in the journal Antiquity.
Uncounted numbers of craters were scoured away during postwar construction and agriculture, and researchers decided to map the region before more evidence of this noteworthy wartime bombardment was lost forever, according to the study.
