Aerial View of a Destroyed Bridge and Bombed Rail Yard, Germany, WWII (11th Armored Division Collection)
A collapsed bridge lies broken across a German river amid a devastated rail yard, captured in this wartime aerial photograph from the 11th Armored Division collection. Scenes like this were common as Allied forces, including the 11th Armored Division, advanced across Germany in 1945, encountering bridges destroyed by retreating German forces or by Allied bombing.
