01/09/39 : the Dirschau (Tczew) bridge
The story of Dilley's Ju 87s attacking the explosive charges of the Dirschau (Tczew) bridge a few minutes before the invasion of Poland started has been well documented (Cajus Bekker in particular).
But there were two bridges over the Vistula at that time. The one of the left was the original one (mid-XIXth Century) and the other was built a few years later because of the railroad traffic increase. The photo attached shows both bridges after they have been rebuilt after WW2.
My question is: which bridge did Dilley attack?
Thanks.
Chris
