Flash bombs above Tehtaankatu

Tummassa kuvassa piirtyvät rakennusten siluetit ja yötaivasta vasten näkyy useita pimeydessä loistavia valopommeja putoamassa taivaalta savuvanojen saattelemina.
Flash bombs above Tehtaankatu on 6 February 1944, Tehtaankatu 5 on the left. Before dropping the bombs, enemy planes dropped flash bombs to illuminate the targets of the completely dark city. During the war, a blackout order prevailed in the city, the violation of which was punished.
