Destroyed Bridge Over the Neckar River, Heidelberg, Germany, WWII - Norman Baget / 44th Infantry Division Collection
A destroyed bridge spans the Neckar River at Heidelberg, Germany, its central sections collapsed into the water below the city's historic hillside skyline. Bridges across Germany were frequently demolished by retreating German forces in the final months of World War II to delay the advance of Allied troops such as the U.S. 44th Infantry Division.
