destroyed building refencing - World War two

I'm starting to get really excited about doing a possible abandoned city with something happening that makes the viewer look twice and think hard about what they saw. I think it's a very interesting idea, and already I can visualized what it could look like. But to help me visualize a clearer destroyed city scape, i have choosen to look at some stills of that very topic. My first research on the subject was focused on the destructin of the buildings in World War Two. What is instantly clear is the addition of rubble on the streets, the dust thats flying about and the limited amount of people in the area. The limted amount of people enhances the failure of the city and decay of it's civilization.
