When one of the ammunition train's anti-aircraft guns opened fire, the station was hit by US Air Force fighter-bombers. After the gasometer exploded, the ammunition train was also hit, destroying the station, the offices and adjoining residential and industrial buildings. The resulting crater made the station unusable until the end of the war. During a second raid on 8 April, the western station area, including the repair shop, and the eastern exit was severely hit. A total of 45 locomotives and hundreds of passenger carriages and freight wagons were destroyed and 80% of the track infrastructure was no longer usable. After the beginning of the reconstruction of the railway tracks, the first train ran west again on 19 May 1945. Eastbound operations resumed on 16 June. Until signal boxes
