SUK12542 Accession Number: SUK12542

Description

France. C. 1944-07. Damage to the German defended area around Cagny after the attack by Lancasters and Halifaxes of RAF Bomber Command on the morning of 1944-07-18. The bombs dropped in this area were fused to explode immediately they hit the ground and so not make any craters that might hold up our troops. The blast rings around the explosions are very different in appearance from the craters from other attacks and can be clearly seen.
