ADM Posted 27 November , 2019 Share Posted 27 November , 2019 Hello, I'm looking for photos of post-war Verdun. Preferably, I'd love to find an aerial photo or two. Any tips on where I should look? On docpix.fr I was able to find a few from the ground, but that's it. Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thGordons Posted 27 November , 2019 Share Posted 27 November , 2019 Here's one I have taken from a Salmson of 88thAero squadron probably taken late 1918 or perhaps post war: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buildings appear to be in surprisingly good condition. This isn't what I expected at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the centre of the town was in ruins, and even the cathedral had lost its roof, etc as had the Bishop's residence. I'll dig out some photos, if you're interested.

Dragon Posted 10 December , 2019 Share Posted 10 December , 2019 If postcards are useful, putting Verdun + guerre into www.delcampe.net might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
