Saarbrucken

Saarbrucken

A vertical aerial photograph of the centre of Saarbrücken, orientated with south-east at the top and clearly showing the River Saar. Cloud and/or smoke covers parts of the town but residential areas, the railway and other details can still be seen. The railway enters the image at the left edge and can be seen crossing the river before dividing to run east and west. At the bottom edge, to the left of the river, is a large market area while the central part of the image, to the right of the river, covers large residential areas. There are no easily recognisable buildings though Saarbrücken Castle can be seen to the right of the river, adjacent to the second bridge from the top.

The photograph is captioned:
'847 SDL 13.1.45 // 7" 19000. 057° 1529 SAARBRUCKEN B.
1HC4000IN 10ANM64DN 2MC500DT C36 F.O. HART E.186'.

On the reverse is written '3100 - 221o.
