A Canadian Photographic Reconnaissance pilot examines a picture of Hamburg
A Canadian Photographic Reconnaissance pilot examines a picture of Hamburg. Picture taken 30th August 1943.
The Allied bombing of Hamburg during World War II included numerous attacks on civilians and civic infrastructure. As a large city and industrial centre, Hamburgs shipyards, U-boat pens, and the Hamburg-Harburg area oil refineries were attacked throughout the war.
As part of a sustained campaign of strategic bombing during World War II, the attack during the last week of July 1943, code named Operation Gomorrah, created one of the largest firestorms raised by the Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Forces in World War II, killing an estimated 58, 000 civilians and wounding 180, 000 more in Hamburg, and virtually destroying most of the city.
