Drifting through superimposed narratives of two cities at once. ||| dortmund 1943 ||| ||| May ||| Dortmund bombed. http://www.bomber-command.info The production of bombs at the company Carl Treeck in Dortmund suffered a loss of 50%. Hoerde of Dortmund could not finish 17 complete kits for the tank V "Panther" in May 1943. Losses in the delivery of the Dortmunder coal.
