Post action aerial of St Nazaire

This aerial photograph was taken some months after the raid when Allied bombers had destroyed most of the old town and surrounding area. The southern road bridge across the New Entrance to the Submarine Basin has gone but the lockg ates and lifting bridge remain intact. The narrow streets and densely packed houses of the Old Town can be clearly seen in ruins in the mid-left of the picture.
