EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of a significant low-level attack carried out by Avro Lancasters of No. 5 Group, Bomber Command on April 17,1942. Taken by No 1 PRU, RAF during an aerial photographic-reconnaissance mission, this image showcases the devastating damage inflicted upon the main diesel-engine assembly workshop in the MAN factory at Augsburg, Germany. The detailed guide print reveals specific targets that were instructed to be attacked by the bombers. The caption highlights three key areas affected: C - The main engine assembly shop suffered severe damage; B1 - A crank grinding shop was completely demolished; and X - An area adjoining the crank grinding shop was severely damaged. This photograph provides a glimpse into the destructive power unleashed during World War II as Allied forces engaged in intense aerial bombing campaigns against strategic German industrial sites. It serves as a stark reminder of both the military might employed and the immense human cost endured during this turbulent period. Preserved from Memory Lane Prints, this historical artifact transports us back to a time when Europe was engulfed in war and conflict. It stands as a testament to not only the bravery and skill of Royal Air Force personnel but also as a visual record of one small part of Germany's wartime industrial infrastructure reduced to ruins.
