Some Ninth Army Medics man an assault boat to evacuate wounded across the swift

Some Ninth Army Medics man an assault boat to evacuate
wounded across the swift flowing Roer River during the assault under deadly fire. The bridge here destroyed when an M-4 Alligator could not fight the strong current and rammed the bridge, breaking it loose at this point. The Red Cross men had a stiff task against the strong current.
The Rur or Roer is a major river that flows through portions of Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.
Actual part of the river unknown, but by February 1945 the allies were advancing through Holland, The Netherlands, so Mirrorpix will suggest The Netherlands as a location.
