RAF night raid on Berlin, 1941 - a picture from the past

An aerial photograph taken at night during a raid on Berlin in 1941
Bombs are seen exploding in the vicinity of the central cattle-market and railway yard (middle right), east of the city centre. The broad, wavy lines are the tracks of German searchlights, and anti-aircraft fire is also visible. St Georgs Kirchhof and Balten Platz have been illuminated by the flash-bomb in the lower half of the photograph Illustration: IWM/Getty Images
