Bombing of the S. Giorgio di Nogaro railway station

Bent and twisted railway tracks, flying pieces of metal, smoke and fire are featured prominently in the background, while another bomb is coming in from the left. The nearby railway station and two adjacent tracks look undamaged.

Label reads “83”; signed by the author; caption reads “10 GENNAIO 1945. Caccia “Thunderbhot” [Thunderbolt] sganciano alcune bombe ad alto potenziale sul piazzale della stazione di S. Giorgio di Nogaro UD.”

Caption translates as: “10 January 1945. Thunderbolt fighter aircraft drop high-capacity bombs on the square in front of San Giorgio di Nogaro railway station (Udine province).”
