Max J. Madsen’s Machine Factory worked for the Wehrmacht, and manufactured grenade casings. Two explosions in the machine shop flattened it to the ground. According to one of the saboteurs, the group used English explosives for the first time here: 9 bombs of 1/2 kg. It was a much more powerful blast than expected - a joiner's workshop and Madsen's riding horses were also destroyed as a bonus.
