Well, after some looking around with google maps I found
those coordinates:

48°54'15.07"N 2°16'56.79"O

Which gives a quite good resamblance to the bridges, island and
railways. It's not Berlin, somewhat more in the west, in France.

Maybe someone finds a better point?

I was going to say north of the Ille de la Citée in Paris. That should be
the Louvre museum on the left then.

That's what I thought (I'm French and I passed above Paris several
times) but I didn't know a such important bombing raid over Paris
during WWII.
