#1

When the allies landed in Europe towards the end of WW2 there was a desperate need to quickly restore rail services over damaged bridges. This newsreel shows the activities undertaken by the military when they were rebuilding the bridges.

Wow, all I can say is, this is so cool. I can't believe I haven't seen this one before. Now I can use it in my documentary and I will also place on main site. That is a great video and explains so much to the general public.

 

Vee, you are wonderful!
