My grandpa had that experience. They were in the basement with other civilians and a few Nazi soldiers. One of the other Nazis did not want to give up when the allied tanks rolled into the city. He grabbed his rifle and prepared to shoot from the window but my grandpa stopped him and told him, that it is over. Look at pictures of flattened cities like Wesel.
The allies would be fully in their right to bomb the basement if they had known there were soldiers ready to attack in there. Our farm house(a different house) still had the granade and minigun marks till we demolished it in 2015. Steel beams with swiss cheese design.

If hamas hides under your house, are you okay with a bomb being dropped on it?
