This area in Grenoble, France, was devastated late last year, not by Allied bombers, but by the French resistance movement. At 12.40 a.m. on November 14, a sabotage squad blew up a German store containing some 30 tons of powder and 300 tons of ammunition. Hostages were arrested, and the underground movement demanded their in nmediate release. The Germans refused, and the destruction of the De Bonne Barracks was decided on and carried out on December 2, killing outright 220 Germans and wounding 500. The photograph, issued by the British Ministry of Information, shows the barracks area.
