Moscow under the bombs - masking buildings (12 photos + text)
During the Second World War to escape the bombing, the Germans repainted all highways in black color - so they were less visible from the air. Summer of 1941, faced with a similar problem and Moscow - had to save the city from attacks by enemy aircraft. Of course, the whole city is unrealistic to hide, but you can shoot down the enemy confused and force him to drop bombs did not go where he planned.
West of Moscow from the board of the German aircraft. Smoke on the picture - last details Access road to Belarus station.
German aerial center of Moscow - Kremlin is outlined by dotted lines. As you can see, it is a fairly easy discernible purpose.
The city center began to mask pochtisrazu after the war began. The main objective was to keep the Kremlin or at least reduce the possible damage to a minimum. There were two ways:
1. Apply camouflage coloring on the building and the area to a high altitude the pilot could not identify Ohayon city
2. construct dummy buildings, which also knocked to confuse enemy aircraft
Of course, the Kremlin - it's not a needle in a haystack, polnostb hide it impossible, however, to do something failed. On the cupola of the cathedral were stretched drezentovye cases that they are not glittering in the sun, the buildings were repainted spetsialnym way, the adjacent area was applied camouflage coloring that imitates the rooftops. In general, here's what happened:
in the photo clearly shows that the walls of the Kremlin rasskrasheny for residential buildings, structures inside the Kremlin repainted in Taynitskom garden built plywood structures that mimic street
Mausoleum was also covered with a fake plywood structure, pictured clearly visible repainted the walls of the Kremlin
like that painted the square in front of the Kremlin - from a great height a complete illusion dense urban areas. pictured as clearly seen as painted "on the house" Kremlin walls
in this photo is clearly visible camouflage rasskraska Senate Palace, and this is how it looked in color
Yuoon portrayed in the picture are the same black camouflage stripes, which were to imitate the alleys between the houses. For the 1941 parade plywood structure of the mausoleum specially to understand, and upon its completion immediately collected again.
Mask not only the Kremlin, but also all the big buildings that could serve as benchmarks for the enemy
Downed German aircraft exhibited on Sverdlov Square. Clearly visible camouflage rasskraska Hotels «Metropol»
like this was disguised Bolshoi Theatre (larger image is not found, but everything is quite discernible)
Camouflage rasskraska Red Army Theater
but so was disguised Dinamo Stadium - rostrum repainted, planted trees on the field
konchno, it has helped reduce losses from German air raids, but completely saved from them could
Night bombing of the Kremlin 26 Germans iyublya 1941. The photo shows the route from projectiles anti-aircraft guns to protect the capital.
