Description
Cologne, Germany. 1945-03-07. The scene of devastation when American troops entered this industrial city. Heavy and sustained bombing attacks by Allied airforces virtually destroyed or damaged every building including the double spread gothic cathedral which was gutted. Note the collapsed bridge across the Rhine River.
