Photograph showing British and American troops stacking dynamite charges against the railing of Nijmegen Bridge, September 1944. As the Allied army advanced towards Nijmegen, the German general defending the town put 10,000 lbs of explosives on the bridge, to blow it up if the Allies managed to overcome his men. In the event, the Germans were unable to destroy the bridge; hence this photograph of the British and American troops collecting all the dynamite and moving it elsewhere. On 17t
