Bielefeld Viaduct after being attacked by Lancaster Specials of 617 Sqn
The Bielefeld Viaduct after being attacked by Lancaster Specials of 617 Squadron, which dropped one Grand Slam and several Tallboys on the structure on 14 March 1945. The large craters visible in this picture are those left by the Tallboys, while the Grand Slam made a rather smaller hole, penetrating deep and exploding underground.
