EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing piece of history - an Ordnance Survey map of Rotherham that was meticulously copied by the Germans during World War II. This extraordinary artifact, now preserved at Sheffield City Archives, sheds light on a dark chapter in the town's past. The map itself is not just any ordinary representation of Rotherham; it bears chilling evidence of the devastating air raids that plagued this industrial hub during the war. German forces marked specific bombing targets directly onto this very map, providing a haunting glimpse into their strategic plans and intentions. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded of the immense bravery and resilience displayed by the people of Rotherham in those tumultuous times. The scars left behind by countless bombs are etched into both their memories and physical landscape. While acknowledging its historical significance, it is important to note that this image does not pertain to commercial use or reference any particular company.
