Traces of War, Mosel Valley - a photo on Flickriver

            This is the railway bridge that crosses the River Mosel at Bullay, north east of Traben-Trabach. During WW2 it became an important rail connection for the Germans as it provided a supply line between Berlin and the French city of Metz. As such, the Allies were keen to disable it, to deprive the Germans of supplies on their western front, and made it a primary target for bombing. As the Allies advanced through Europe, post-D-Day, the bridge was bombed a number of times between July 1944 until its final destruction in February 1945. The rebuilding of the bridge required the help of local townspeople and took two years to complete.
