Casalecchio Road Bridge Smashing
1945-04-18
The smashing of the Casalecchio road bridge on April 18, 1945 one of the main bridges across the Reno River, created a definite hardship to German troops stationed in Casalecchio di Reno, as the town is situated on both sides of the river. This bridge, bombed by B-25 Mitchells of the 310th Bomb Group, was one of the main bridges leading to the Fifth Army front.
