Collection of 10 Photo Postcards of the Ruins of Warsaw after being Bombed by the Nazis. 1940
Ten photo postcards [real photo] of Warsaw as destroyed by the Nazis and mostly becoming a city of ruins, published by Fot. J. Mizerski.
The destruction was carried out by Hitler's explicit order after being delayed by the Warsaw uprising, which broke out on 01.08.1944. The attack included bombing the government buildings, the old city and the royal palace. The postcards show various places in the city, with a Polish caption at the bottom of each postcard: Municipal Building; Multi-Story Tower, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, churches, Blank Palace and more.
Not sent in the mail, very fine condition.
