The railway bridge at Oissel, south of Rouen, which was made impassable to rail traffic

The railway bridge at Oissel, south of Rouen, which was made impassable to rail traffic by RAF attacks. The Germans in their desperate efforts to cross the Seine with as much wheeled equipment as possible, used the existing eastern span as a road bridge and built a long ramp alongside the wrecked part of the bridge declining to the Western bank.
In this photograph, a burning vehicle on the improvised bridge is holding up a stream of traffic from the West while ahead, the ramp, roads and tracks are clear.
August 1944
