Today is Wednesday July 5, 1944, the day after the disaster at the Port of Aarhus
During the work of reloading 150 tons of ammunition, an explosion occurs, destroying large parts of Aarhus harbor and the city center.
More than 30 Aarhus residents were killed in the accident, and most of the city center was heavily damaged as shrapnel and ammunition rained down on the city.
