For London there is a comprehensive and accessible (and readily available) atlas of damage done during the Second World War by German aerial bombing.

enter image description here

Are there similar atlases available for Europe, especially for Germany or key cities in Germany? I know both the US (through the Strategic Bombing Survey) and Britain (through the British Bombing Survey Unit) conducted surveys of bomb damage after the war, but can't find a presentation of these that is accessible in the same way the London survey is.

Is there a WW2 European bomb damage atlas (or atlases) available, similar to the The London County Council Bomb Damage Maps?

    For Berlin, I have found fbinter.stadt-berlin.de/fb/… and deutschefotothek.de/documents/obj/90015127/… . You can assume that on maps of damage in Berlin that were created after the war, some of the damage is from surface combat rather than aerial.bombardment.

  • I am pretty sure similar maps were created for other cities, but I could not find any others on the web.

    For Berlin, select Gebäudeschäden 1945 to view the 1945 damaged buildings maps, that were assembled between 1945 and 1950. Commented Jan 23, 2021 at 15:35

Found dlozeve.github.io while cruising around looking for something else entirely. Have you seen it?

  • Interesting, but I think it is something else entirely.
