1:35 scale railroad bridge

cults3d

In June 1940, during the French campaign, the 7th Panzer Division under General Rommel encounters. a railway bridge that the French had not yet destroyed between Hangest and Condé-Folie and thus manages to cross the Somme. "The French had blown up the road bridges over the Somme at Hangest and near Longpre, but not the railroad bridges, nor the two across the road, ... Traffic over the bridge had ceased again. A Panzer IV had lost its right chain and was blocking the passage, preventing the others from advancing. Attempts were made to drag it, but nothing could be accomplished, because the sleepers hindered the operation of the rubber wheels and piled up the gravel in front of them. Half an hour was lost while the wagon was pushed back and forth. Once removed, the crossing proceeded in an orderly fashion." MARSHAL ROMMEL MEMORIES THE YEARS OF VICTORY
