Debris Removal in Munich After the Second World War with Crane from Nissen & Kruse

Description

Black and white photograph showing clean-up efforts in Munich shortly after the end of the war. A large, chain-driven excavator or crane from the company Nissen & Kruse (Hamburg) is in use to clear rubble and debris. In the background stand partially preserved pre-war buildings, while a ruin on the left illustrates the extent of the destruction. Workers pose on and next to the heavy construction machinery, a testament to the reconstruction (Rubble Years).
