Burning houses in a snowy town

Fire burns behind the ground-floor windows of a house with balconies; beyond two bare trees and a snowy field a large wooden building stands in flames from end to end; beside a whitewashed wall with the painted word HOTEL, smoke rolls over a street strewn with wreckage, telegraph poles and the masts of a ship behind. Norway, spring 1940, when German air raids set fire to towns built largely of wood, among them Elverum, Namsos and Molde.
