AWM original caption: “Fires still burning among six and half acres of workshops at the Neptun shipbuilding yards in Rostock, Germany, after the heavy attack on the night of 20-21 April 1942 by RAF Bomber Command. (British Admiralty Photograph, C3518).”
The precise date of the attack mentioned in the original caption is uncertain. Rostock was not attacked by the RAF on 20-21 April 1942, though it was raided on 20-21 April in 1943, and also in April 1942 on every night between 23/24 and 26/27. The original photograph is held at the Imperial War Museum (IWM) with the accession number C3518; IWM’s caption says the photograph was made after an attack on 20-21 April 1943 but incorrectly gives the location of the photograph as Stettin (Szczecin).
