Blitzkrieg !!....1941?

 

The Meuse River definitely had a few bridges that were fought over, possibly bombed...

No definitive photos yet...

 

Probably the Dinant bridge destroyed by Belgians .

 

Blitzkrieg !!....1941?

No, I think it would be 1944/45, and probably destroyed by the Germans in retreat. During the rapid German advance referred to as 'lightning war' communications lines were kept open, during a retreat the tendency is to cut them behind you to delay the enemy.

The damage looks more like demolition than bombing, and should be repairable within a week with some heavy lifting gear.

 

Not the Dinant.

 

Gila.... Your Uncle Tio may have been quite near there.

 

You mean ' in ' the Ruhr !!

 

Oh, my God, that's a real poissibility, isn't it???????? Thanks!

 

It is as this is likely Battle of the Bulge area.

 

KingJoker, will you mind if I make a copy of this photo, just for sentimental reasons, to keep? I just feel as if I should ask. Thanks for posting this! I recently discovered that a great uncle of mine fought near the Battle of the Bulge, and was a POW for a time near there.

 

No problem, go ahead

 

Thank youuuuuu!!

And thanks, Kingsie, for pointing that out!

 

Maybe you can look at Google earth and find those steep cliffs
