Description: View of an attack of USAAF Martin B-26 Marauder bombers on the railroad bridge across the Moselle river at Trier-Pfalzel, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The photo was probably taken on 24 December 1944, when 69 B-26s of the 323rd and 394th Bomb Group attacked the bridge with 122.3 t of HE bombs. The attack took place between 1330 and 1345hrs, and the sun in the south throws the shadows of the tail fins on the left wings of the B-26s. On the right bank of the Moselle are the Verteilerkreis roundabaout, Nell's Park, and the barracks on Dasbach St. and Herzogenbuscher St. On the left bank are Trier-Biewer (right) and Trier-Pfalzel (left) and the Ehrang rail yard. Snow is visible on the hills.
