Towards the end of the Second World War, the Allies carried out mass bombing campaigns against Germany and sought to bomb them into submission. Many German towns and cities were levelled to the ground as the Germans lost World War Two. There was a great fear within the German population of air raids and bombs, and because of this the Russelsheim Massacre occured.

During one bombing raid, a B-24 Liberator was shot down over Germany and the USAAF airmen parachuted to safety, however were captured. The next evening a RAF air raid levelled the industrial town of Russelsheim, with the airmen being taken to a POW camp. But on the way, the railway lines had been damaged during the RAF raid and they were forced to march through Russelsheim. During this march, they were set upon by an angry mob who believed the American airmen were actually the British airmen responsible for the bombing of the town. They were set upon and beaten to death by the mob before a air-raid warden shot them. This was obviously a war crime, and after Russelsheim was captured by the Allies they learned of the massacre.

The perpetrators were brought to justice, however there were over 100 who were allegedly involved in the beatings, but only 5 men were sentenced to death. They were condemned for their involvement and were executed inside the yard of a prison.
