The year is 1944, during the infamous "Little Blitz" carried out by the Luftwaffe as part of Operation Steinbock. As sirens wail and chaos ensues, these courageous individuals from the auxiliary fire service rush to save lives and protect their beloved city. The silhouette of these firefighters against a backdrop of billowing smoke creates a powerful image that symbolizes their unwavering determination in the face of destruction.
