EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of a devastating air raid on the Surrey Commercial Docks in Rotherhithe, SE London, during the early hours of 7 September 1940. The image, taken by an unknown photographer for the London Fire Brigade, marks the beginning of the Blitz on London and other major UK cities during World War II. The photograph shows the destruction caused by the bombing, with several warehouses engulfed in flames. The intense heat and smoke billow from the buildings, casting an eerie glow over the scene. The London Fire Brigade is already on the scene, with firefighters bravely tackling the blaze. Their determined efforts, however, are overshadowed by the sheer scale of the damage. The Surrey Docks, an essential hub for commerce and trade, were a prime target for the German Air Force during the Blitz. The raids caused widespread destruction, not only to infrastructure but also to homes and businesses. The impact of the bombing was felt deeply by the local community, who were forced to endure the constant threat of air raids and the devastating consequences that followed. The bravery and resilience of the London Fire Brigade and the people of London during the Blitz is a testament to their unwavering spirit. Despite the destruction and chaos, they continued to fight for their city and rebuild in the face of adversity. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during this dark period in history and the indomitable spirit of those who lived through it.
