English: Aerial photograph taken during RAF Bomber Command's raid on the North German port of Lubeck on the night of 28/29 March 1942. Vertical aerial photograph taken during the major night raid on Lubeck, Germany on 28/29 March 1942. On the left, larges fires caused by incendiaries can be seen in the Altstadt. To the right, on the other side of the Trave river, is a large fire, apparently in the enamelware works of Carl Thiele u. Sohne. This raid was the first major success for Bomber Command against a German target. More than 400 tons of bombs were dropped, two-thirds of which were incendiaries. 190 acres of the medieval Altstadt were destroyed, including many buildings of architectural and historical importance. |

Licensing edit
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  |
