Ruins of German factories, showing the remains of once-thriving industry before the war. Buried within the wreckage are abandoned machines, a heartbreaking reminder of the devastation caused by the conflict. This photograph, with the number 4015, was taken by photographer Reco in 1918 and was issued by the Syndol Agency.
