Description

German propaganda photograph captured by the RAF.
RAF Caption: "The life carries on. After the terror attack on a large town.
Things still standing the day before, are converted into rubble by Anglo-American terror fliers the next. Nowhere in the vicinity are any war industries to be found, but still, both sacred domes fell victim to the destructive fury of the incendiary. They do not even respect holy treasures but lay them in fire without any consideration for their meaning to civilisation".

The photograph is of Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin. To the left of the photograph the steps of the Konzerthaus or Concert Hall are visible and to the right the Französischer Dom or French Cathedral. Both buildings have sustained heavy bomb damage and the Cathedral is missing its dome. Large amounts of rubble can be seen around the steps to the Concert Hall.
