A gutted government block in Berlin from the air

Seen steeply from the air, a long block with a flat, broken roof and a row of inner courtyards runs diagonally through the picture, its walls standing but its interior burned out; around it lie gutted houses, open lots and paths worn across the rubble, and deep shadows fall across the ruins. The source lists among the aerial views the Reich Chancellery and the government quarter along the Wilhelmstrasse; the long block appears to be one of these buildings.
