Hamburg Norderelbe

Hamburg Norderelbe

Oblique aerial photograph of Hamburg docks showing a destroyed port area with almost all buildings and facilities damaged. The spire of St Michels church is to left of centre and that of St Nikolai is to the right. In front of these, the large watercourse running left to right is the Norderelbe and the watercourse on the right is the Steinwerder Hafen. A sign on a dock building in the foreground reads: 'Braunstein Werke, Jencquel & Hayn'. A gantry crane in the Blohm and Voss shipyard is to the far left. Submitted with caption 'Hamburg bombed'.

Additional identification kindly provided by Ed Strohmaier, Mike Woelke, and Andrew Gordon of the Finding the location WW1 & WW2 Facebook Group.
