| Description |
Nederlands: Op 10 mei 1940 rond 04.00 uur in de ochtend, bombardeerde de Duitse luchtmacht de Alexander kazerne in Den Haag. Als gevolg daarvan kwamen 66 huzaren van de Cavalerie om het leven. Naast de doden vielen er meer dan 150 gewonden. Velen van hun waren ernstig verminkt, leden aan brandwonden of verloren armen en/of benen. De soldaten waren vooral reservisten, gemobiliseerd als gevolg van de Duitse militaire dreiging. Ook meer dan 100 paarden van de cavalerie werden gedood als gevolg van het bombardement. Vele paarden waren ernstig gewond geraakt en moesten worden afgemaakt door dierenartsen. Er werd gemeld dat het geluid van hun urenlange geschreeuw van onder het puin, in hoge mate heeft bijgedragen aan de totale verschrikking van de overlevenden.
