"This is the Old Town in Nuremberg – Rebuilt 1945 – 1965" – a title that shows unmistakable pride in that achievement – "... destroyed by bombs on January 2, 1945, by Allied cultural barbarians in the Second World War, 1939–45," the inscription continues at the bottom of this "broad view" of Nuremberg. The picture shows the city as seen from the Castle. The comment about the city's destruction seems an accusation, yet the title at the top is conciliatory. A clear sky fills the space above this minutely detailed panorama.
