The day before the liberation of Breda, the Allies decided to destroy the headquarters of the German 67th Army Corps. The operation went completely wrong. The bombs, intended for the German headquarters in Villa Marckendael at Duivelsbruglaan 54, hit the Bad Wörishofen spa at number 50. In this health resort, founded by doctor Soer, patients with physical ailments were treated using the Kneipp method. 27 patients and staff members were killed, including the doctor in charge.
