Indicazioni stradali


The old railway bridge in Deventer is militarily important during the Second World War. Germans use the railway to transport war materials such as the V1 and V2 from east to west. Food and other desirable items go from west to east. On Sunday morning the 15th of October 1944, people are shocked by extensive Allied bombing of the bridge. Many air strikes follow, but the bridge remains in tact.
