EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken in 1915, provides a striking view of the Maubeuge fortress in northern France during the First World War. The fortress, a significant military stronghold, was besieged and heavily damaged by the Germans between August 24 and September 7, 1914. The image reveals the extensive destruction wrought upon the fort during the siege, with numerous breaches and craters visible in the fortifications. The once imposing fortress, designed to protect France's northern border, now lies in ruins. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of the Great War on Europe's historical and cultural heritage. The image was captured by German forces, likely for military intelligence purposes, and offers a unique perspective on the battlefield. The fortress at Maubeuge, a symbol of French military might, had been rendered powerless, a testament to the brutal realities of warfare during this period. This photograph, with its haunting imagery, serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the enduring legacy of conflict on the European landscape.
