Description

German propaganda photograph captured by the RAF.
RAF Caption: "Berlin tackles it.
A solid roof over the head belongs to one of the most essential things. In very many cases the house community put roofs in order damaged by incendiaries. The essential material were quickly brought by."

The photograph is of three men and a woman unloading roof tiles from the back of a truck. The scene takes place on a fairly major street with tram lines visible in the background. Also visible are large piles of rubble which is most likely the result of substantial bomb damage.
