SUK11932 Accession Number: SUK11932

Description

Berlin, Germany. C. 1944-03-08. In the outer industrial districts of Berlin, heavy damage has been caused to high-priority munitions plants. In earlier attacks on the Reich capital, before the RAF penetrated in force to the central areas, these targets had been heavily hit. Reconnaissance shows that whilst, in some cases, repair work has been attempted, further heavy damage has been inflicted. A notable example is the great Siemens electrical concern, two major plants of which are shown by photographs to have been heavily hit. This photograph shows the Siemens and Halske electrical plant at Siemenstadt. Over an area approximately 900 yards by 720 yards there is very heavy damage in all sections, including switchgear works, dynamo works, research laboratories, warehouses and offices.
