the damage notes on the hot stamping shop
relates closely to the fires seen in this area.
Y. CHEMICAL PRODUCTS SECTION
36. Destruction to this section of the plant
is on the same severe scale and the buildings
appear to be completely burnt out.
This shows an oblique view of the 2/35

This part of the plant is said to be
entirely under German control, manned by
German engineers and workmen.
Damage appears to have been caused to
the main shops and to a number of small sheds
