German propaganda photograph captured by the RAF.
RAF Caption: "The work British bombers. H.E. and incendiaries on women and children.
Although thick cloud prevented the sight of the target to British fliers in their last attack during the night of 26.6.43, they dropped their bombloads with full terrorist intention on famous and world known cultural monuments, and also on the very crowded residential areas of the city, where their bombs caused the death of many women and children. But should the British believe that the morale of the people suffers through these attacks where many people are killed, they are making a very grave mistake. Such terror attacks only create bigger hatred and bitterness, the consequences of which Britain will feel when the hour for retaliation strikes. In long rows lie the victims of British murderlust - among them many women and children - in front of the houses of workers in Koelner Street. Filled with pain the parents look for the bodies of their children, and every time a cry of pain when a mother finds the body of a mutilated child."
The photograph shows the victims of an air raid on a German city. The corpses are layed out in a line in the gutter of the street. A mourner is seen with her handkerchief covering her mouth and behind her men can be seen either adding another body to the line or taking one away. Debris and rubble is visible on the footpath and in the windows and doorways of the building.
