The company had previously delivered uniforms to the Wehrmacht. Saboteurs planted several firebombs and explosive charges on the ground floor, including in the boiler house and the factory chimney. As a consequence of the explosion, the top of the boiler blew off and walls and doors were shattered. The chimney received little damage, only slight chipping on the bricks where the bomb had hung. Later, four unexploded bombs and four bottles of petrol were found on the factory premises.
