EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary piece of history - an Ordnance Survey map of south Sheffield, meticulously copied by the Germans during World War II. This remarkable artifact is not only marked with bombing targets but also provides a unique insight into the strategic planning and devastating air raids that took place during this tumultuous time. The map itself is a testament to the precision and attention to detail employed by both sides in their military operations. It depicts railway tracks, transport stations, and key landmarks such as Meersbrook, Heeley, City Centre, Highfield, Norfolk Park, Arbourthorne, Nether Edge, Hospital Endcliffe, Broomhall - areas that were undoubtedly significant for various reasons. As we gaze upon this historical document now preserved at Sheffield City Archives (MD7731/6) and Sheffield Local Studies Library (26 M/3), it serves as a stark reminder of the immense destruction caused by bombings during the war. The markings on the map highlight specific targets that were subjected to relentless attacks from above. It's important to acknowledge the significance of these maps without mentioning any commercial use they may have had. They stand as poignant reminders of how conflict can shape landscapes and communities forever. Let us remember those who endured these dark times while appreciating how far we've come since then.
