Vertical photographic reconnaissance aerial showing the airfield of Melsbroek, Belgium, following a daylight attack by aircraft of Bomber Command on 15 August 1944. Craters from bombs cover most of the airfield, which was one of nine attacked in preparation for a renewed night offensive against Germany.

Not a aerial reconnaissance but a pretty surreal photo of a bombed out shop with tailor mannequins impaled on rails:

Are there any photos that show the German bombing results in England like this?

The Pointe du hoc photograph always gets me.
I visited it in the spring in some pretty miserable weather (aprox -1 degrees, sleet, and windy as hell), and it was one of the most chilling yet amazing things I have ever experienced. The bomb craters are deep enough to get stuck in at some points. It really makes you realize just how powerful such explosives were.
