EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Weser River at Bremen, north-west Germany, in July 1945, following the end of World War II. The image presents a stark contrast between the tranquil waterway and the destruction wrought by the conflict. The iron bridge, a symbol of the town's industrial past, stands damaged and incomplete, its structure disrupted by the ravages of war. The once bustling town is now a shadow of its former self, with buildings reduced to rubble and debris scattered along the riverbanks. The Weser River, with its calm and reflective surface, mirrors the somber mood of the scene. The photograph, taken in the aftermath of the war, serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of conflict on communities and infrastructure. This image, from the personal album of Mary Evans, offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable historical context for future generations.
