Description

German propaganda photograph captured by the RAF.
RAF Caption: "Berlin carries on.
A particular tragic consequence of enemy terror attacks on residential areas, is the large number of homeless who have been bombed out, but immediate special measures are undertaken for these people. After moving these people to collective shelters, mostly for a matter of a few hours only, a quick removal follows particularly for women, children and the old to less dangerous areas. The NS-station sisters are always on the spot to help these people when leaving."

A picture of the evacuation of a mother and her two young children. They have only one suitcase between them and they are being assisted by Red Cross sisters as they board a train.
