The city was deeply affected by the war and as an industrial hub, it contributed significantly to the war effort. The city endured air raids, though it wasn’t as heavily bombed as others, as a couple of these photos show, the bombing was evident. Other photos are wonderful street scenes, lost buildings faces and people.
