The Krupp works in Essen from the air

From an aircraft the view falls on an expanse of factory halls stretching away into the haze; many roofs have gone, leaving rows of girders and trusses open to the sky, and rail tracks run between the blocks. The source places the aerial views over the Krupp works in Essen. The works, one of the largest armaments producers of the Reich, had been bombed repeatedly by the Royal Air Force, last and heaviest in March 1945; the British occupation authorities planned to dismantle it.
