Description

German Propaganda Photograph captured by the RAF.
German Caption:
An den Stätten des Grausens in Paris
Bild Nr A 105.159 herausg. 7.3.42 G/G
So sieht es nach dem kaltblütig organisierten Mord Englands in den betroffenen Wohnvierteln von Paris aus! Die Ausmasse des Verbrechens sind ungeheuerlich, ganze Häuserreihen sind in den betroffenen Arbeitervierteln wie wegrasiert. Unendliches Leid hat der Kriegsverbrecher Churchill über die französische Zivilbevölkerung gebracht, steigen doch noch immer die Zahlen der Opfer an Toten und Verletzten.
PK-Aufnahme: Kriegsberichter Weinmann

Translation:
At the sites of the horror in Paris
Picture No. A 105.159 Published 7.3.42 G/G
This is how it looks in the affected residential districts of Paris after the cold-blooded organised murder by England! The magnitudes of the crime are prodigious, whole terraces in the affected working-class areas are razed. War criminal Churchill has brought infinite grief on the French civil population, nevertheless, the numbers of dead and injured victims still rise.

RAF Caption:
"At the horror places of Paris. That is the picture in the effected residential areas in Paris after the cold blooded organised British murder. The measure of this crime is tremendous, with whole rows of houses in the effected worker district, completely vanished. Unmeasurable suffering has this war criminal Churchill brought on the French civil population, and the number of the dead and wounded is still rising."
