This is what the caption to this image reads.
CAMOUFLAGE TRIBUTE TO THE RAF.
In and around Berlin camouflage against air attack was carried to
extremes. By lavish use of netting an attempt was made to disguise big
building blocks so that roads appeared to cross them. The pavement of
the great east-west traffic artery was hidden by netting on poles,
from which the tops of spruce 'trees' prodruded; the Victory Column in
Grosser Stern, a square on the same thouroghfare, was painted grey and
its base concealed by a timber structure. On the lake in the
Lietzensee park the Germans erected a suburban landscape, with grassy
lawns and red rooftops supported on posts.
