Destroyed Steel Truss Bridge Spanning a River, European Theater, WWII
A steel truss bridge lies twisted and collapsed into a European river, likely the result of Allied bombing or German demolition during the WWII Rhineland campaign of 1944-1945. Photographs like this, found among the effects of B-24 Liberator crewmen such as Capt. Arthur F. Gullo, document the widespread destruction of transportation infrastructure that characterized the final push into Germany. Project: 218356
