This powerful print captures the haunting aftermath of London during the Blitz, while services are being held to commemorate the second anniversary of The Battle of Britain. Released by Sensor, these dramatic images transport us back to the relentless aerial onslaught that Londoners endured from September 1940 to May 1941. In this particular photograph, we witness a group of courageous firemen working amidst the ruins of a gutted shed in East London's Surrey docks area. This structure fell victim to a devastating raid on the night of September 7th, 1940 - marking the initial German attack in The Battle of Britain. The image is rendered in striking black and white, evoking an atmosphere reminiscent of those dark times. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of the destruction caused by air raids but also showcases resilience and determination exhibited by both civilians and emergency responders during this tumultuous period.
