Fleeing Germans demolish bridge in Italy.

Fleeing Germans demolish bridge in Italy. This bridge over a draining canal in the Pontine Marshes on the west coast of Italy was destroyed by the Germans in their retreat before the Allied forces which entered Rome, the Italia capital, on June 4, 1944. In addition to destroying bridges, the enemy flooded the Pontine Marshes area in a futile effort to halt the Allied advance.
