Der Adler Magazine Interior Spread, Page 806 - "De l'alerte a la descente": German Luftwaffe Flak Battery Repelling a Night Bomber Raid, WWII
Photo-essay page from Der Adler (page 806) documenting a German Luftwaffe heavy anti-aircraft (Flak) battery responding to a nocturnal Allied bombing raid, from the initial air-raid alarm through the crew sprinting to their guns and firing. The dramatic night photography of muzzle flashes and gun-loading captures the home-defense anti-aircraft operations that formed a critical part of the Luftwaffe's war effort. Project: 218709
