Air-to-air view showing the silhouette of two heavy bombers towards the bottom centre, well below going towards the bottom. In the background smoke, bomb explosions and on the right, target indicators. IBCC Digital Archive item #2405

The reverse '18. R.A.F. Bombers over Pforzheim. Two of R.A.F. Bomber Command’s “heavies” silhouetted against dense clouds of smoke during the air assault on the night of 23/24.2.45 on the important industrial and transport centre of Pforzheim, South-east of Karlscuhe [sic]. This picture is an extract from a film made by the R.A.F. Film Production Unit during the attack. The white “cascade” is caused by glowing target indicators.

Pforzheim #OTD 23 Feb 1945. 380 aircraft dropped 1,825 tons of bombs in 22 minutes from 8,000 feet. 83% of the town was destroyed and over 17,000 people killed. 12 aircraft were lost with the loss of 42 airmen.
