Striking the Nazi 'heart'
The Nazis claimed Nuremberg as their spiritual heart. Lying deep inside Germany, the city was difficult to attack but, with the Allied advance of 1944/45, the city became a frequent point of attack. These are pictures taken before and after the penultimate large-scale attack by Bomber Command on the city during the night of January 2-3, 1945.
