EDITORS COMMENTS
The remains of 281 and 283 Hales Lane, Smethwick after the devastating impact of war. This poignant print captures the aftermath of a fateful day in history - April 10th, 1941. The skies were filled with chaos as Heinkel He 111 1G+KM Wk Nr 1555, belonging to the infamous German bomber unit known as KG27, met its demise. In a heroic act of defense, Defiant N3387 from the valiant 151 Squadron engaged in an intense aerial battle with the enemy aircraft. Tragically, this confrontation resulted in the loss of both civilian lives and those aboard the doomed Heinkel. Seven innocent souls perished that day. The image showcases not only the destruction caused by this catastrophic event but also serves as a reminder of resilience amidst adversity. It symbolizes how ordinary homes on Hales Lane became unwilling witnesses to wartime horrors. This photograph is a testament to our shared history during World War II - an era marked by sacrifice and bravery. It stands as a solemn tribute to all those affected by conflict on both sides. As we reflect upon this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, let us remember those who lost their lives and honor their memory by striving for peace in our world today.
