Talk:Bombing of Sofia in World War II
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a matter of fact, the first Allied bombing of Sofia was done by the British as early as April 1941 when Nazi Germany started its invasion of Yugoslavia partly from Bulgarian territory. There were several casualties in the area of Sofia Central Railway Station. --Vladko 15:14, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

- I'm not sure about the British, but I know that a group of aircraft of the First Bomber Regiment of the Yugoslav Royal Air Force carried out several raids on Sofia flying from Davidovac auxiliary airfield near Paraćin. On the 6th of April they targeted the army barracks and the train station. On the 7th - the school "Aleksandar Levsky" where the Germans supposedly were, the train station (again) and the Bulgarian troops under tents. The aircraft flown by the Regiment were Yugoslav licence-built Bristol Blenheims Mk I (a British design), so they were probably mistaken for British aircraft. In addition to that three Yugoslav Do17-k s carried out a raid on an airfield near Sofia which the German Luftwaffe used destroying some hangars and possibly some aircraft.
