1. Bomb flash
2. Bomb burst close to viaduct carrying Berliner Strasse over the railway

The curious effect of the parallel lines of light is due to the aircraft turning before the camera shutter had fully closed. Circa December 1940

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the dramatic beginning of a night attack carried out by the Royal Air Force (RAF) on Stettin. Taken during World War Two in December 1940, it provides a glimpse into the intense conflict that engulfed Europe during this period. The image showcases three distinct elements of the attack. Firstly, there is a bomb flash illuminating the dark sky, symbolizing the destructive power unleashed upon Stettin. Secondly, a bomb burst can be seen near a viaduct carrying Berliner Strasse over the railway, highlighting both precision targeting and strategic intent. However, what truly sets this photograph apart is its unique composition. The parallel lines of light create an intriguing visual effect that adds depth and dynamism to the scene. This effect was unintentional but resulted from the aircraft turning before the camera shutter had fully closed. This print serves as a powerful reminder of wartime aerial warfare and its devastating impact on cities like Stettin (now known as Szczecin). It encapsulates both the bravery and destruction witnessed during this tumultuous era. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, this historical artifact allows us to reflect on past conflicts while honoring those who fought for their countries.
