EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken by the German military during the First World War, captures the damage inflicted upon Mainvilliers Fort in north central France. Dating back to the late 19th century, the fort was a significant military installation designed to protect against invasion from the north. However, during the Great War, it became a target for Allied bombing campaigns. The image reveals the extensive pockmarking on the fort's surface, evidence of the repeated bombardments it endured. The fort's once imposing walls and structures are now scarred, with craters and indentations visible throughout. The aerial perspective offers a unique vantage point to witness the devastating impact of war from above. The exact date of this photograph is not known, but it is believed to have been taken between 1914 and 1918. The use of aerial reconnaissance during wartime was a relatively new tactic, allowing military forces to gather valuable intelligence and plan strategic attacks. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the destructive power of war and the lasting impact it can have on the landscape and the people who inhabit it. Mainvilliers Fort, once a symbol of strength and protection, now stands as a testament to the devastation wrought by the First World War. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable historical insight into the events of a time long gone.
