EDITORS COMMENTS
RAF Photo reconnaissance of Kiel after the heavy daylight attack by USaF Flying Fortresses and Liberators on the Germania Shipbuilding Yards on May 14th, 1944. This remarkable print captures the devastating aftermath of a crucial World War II operation. In this haunting image, we witness the true power of aerial bombardment as two massive U-boats lie capsized in a submerged floating dock. The destruction is further evident with significant damage to various structures within the shipyard. The erecting and testing shop bears scars from enemy fire, while four covered slips stand battered and broken. The shipwrights shed reveals its wounded state with roof damage caused by relentless bombings. Nearby, straightening and tracing sheds lay in ruins, their once sturdy walls now reduced to rubble. The boiler house stands as a testament to the ferocity of warfare, displaying severe damage inflicted upon it. Further evidence of destruction can be seen throughout the shipyard: from damaged boiler shops to impaired brass and iron foundries. It is an eerie reminder that war spares no industry or infrastructure. This poignant photograph serves as a historical record of sacrifice and resilience during one of humanity's darkest chapters. It reminds us not only of the immense destructive force unleashed during World War II but also highlights our collective duty to strive for peace.
