On February 5th, 1945, the University of Vienna Anatomical Institute is damaged by Allied forces bombing.
In the future, this bombing will prove problematic for fully understanding the nature of the bodies used in the Pernkopf atlases. When the University of Vienna studies the creation of the atlas, records of bodies accepted at the University of Vienna Anatomical Institute have to be recreated using court and cemetery records. The body log was reportedly lost during the bombing.
