Brest was raided in August 1944, I suspect the picture has been dated incorrectly. The comment that no bomb completely penetrated the concrete is most likely true as post war analysis found that the deepest a Tallboy went into the concrete was 16 ft but of course the explosion then blew the remaining four ft or so in.
