A train laden with ammunition and dive bombers for Axis front line forces was destroyed

A train laden with ammunition and dive bombers for Axis front line forces was destroyed by Allied
bombers in an attack on a country railway station near Enfidaville, Tunisia.
The track was torn up by direct hits, rail-cars were shattered and burned
out- Shells were strewn over a wide area.
Aircraft were wrecked and station buildings damaged. The steady pressure of the Allied bombing offensive
during the North African campaign kept thousands of-enemy weapons out of the front lines.
Axis communications were disorganised, stores were
destroyed, millions of rounds of ammunition never reached the guns, and aircraft were put out
of action before they took to the air.
Picture shows; Burned out trucks still standing on the rails among the wreckage of the train,
in the station at Enfidaville.
May 1943
