Framed Print of Photographic reconnaissance after a recent attack by Bomber Command

Nevertheless, the small force of bombers detailed for the
attack, succeeded in locating and accurately bombing the target, and the photographs reveal damage to the farm'

It has been taken over there for since by the Germans and several thousand tanks have already left there for various fronts. As the work is done entirely by German
technicians, the only casualties in this atttack should have been Germans, as no bombs fell outside the target area, which adjoins a considerable residential district.
