Successful Raid The raid succeeded. Allied bombers are heading home. Below, a moribund eagle soars erratically above the rubble-filled waters of the Elbe. A damaged conservatory piano distantly resonates a disorganized dirge. From a smoldering hilltop, within a ruined church, a wild-eyed wounded priest utters rambling prayers interrupting the silence. Down in the scoured valley, amidst the city’s rubble, a child stumbles with a rag doll in one bleeding hand, and a mud-covered candy- container in the other. He trembles and soils himself as the third wave of allied bombers approaches from the west to finish the job.
