EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the 15th Scottish Division's advance on the River Elbe during the final stages of the Second World War in Europe. Taken on the 13th of April, 1945, the image shows a determined group of soldiers and armored vehicles making their way across a bridged crater, marking their progress towards the German front lines. The Scottish Division, a part of the British Second Army, played a crucial role in the Allied advance towards Berlin and the end of the war in Europe. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who fought in this pivotal conflict. The River Elbe, a major waterway in central Europe, served as a significant boundary between the advancing Allied forces and the retreating German army. The crossing of this river marked the end of the war in the northwestern European theatre, and the beginning of the occupation and reconstruction of the region. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of the Allied forces during the final months of the war, and a reminder of the profound impact of the conflict on European history.
