EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the harrowing days of World War II. The image captures a dense plume of acrid black smoke rising several thousand feet into the sky, serving as a haunting reminder of the destruction caused by war. This particular scene depicts a burning oil tank at the port of Dunkirk in Northern France, which was ruthlessly destroyed by the Royal Air Force (RAF) during their campaign against enemy forces. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, we notice that it is not just an isolated incident but part of a larger group of reservoirs forming a tank park in the western part of town. The devastation continues with evidence of bombing on display; the railway marshalling yard lies in ruins as trucks and sections of track have been damaged or completely destroyed by a stick of bombs. The aerial view provided allows us to comprehend both the scale and impact these attacks had on Dunkirk during June 1940. It serves as a testament to the bravery and determination exhibited by armed forces who fought tirelessly during World War II.
