  1. Had to google. I remembered some things about Hannover in Napoleon time, dealing with his war against England. In deed, Han(n)over-family has been on the throne of England since early 1700s, and the last Hanover was Victoria. Hanover-family changed the name into Windsor thereafter (they did not like the German name!) Perhaps there was a royal order to save some parts of Hannover in WWII

    1. Very good Pekka L. in Germany we did not find the answer who it really was, because the bombing must have been during Ww2.
