The city of Dresden had no smokestack industries but contributed to the German war effort with high tech production. Here women work on a production line making radar instruments at the Sachsenwerke factory in 1944. (Author’s collection)

The bodies of air raid victims were gathered up for open-air cremation in Dresden’s Altmarkt square, on 25 February 1945, twelve days after the city was destroyed by bombs and a firestorm. (Author’s collection)

On 25 April 1945, twenty Lancasters of 460 Squadron RAAF joined in the attack by 355 aircraft on Hitler’s ‘Eagle’s Nest’ chalet and the local SS guard barracks at Berchtesgaden, in the Austrian Alps. Here, a stream of Lancasters fly over the snow-capped peaks of Walchen, Austria, during the raid. (Author’s collection)
