Opis:

The Drive for Messina 10 July - 17 August 1943: The British advance onto the Catania Plain required the capture of the Primosole and Malati bridges before the retreating Axis forces could destroy them. Some of the fiercest fighting of the campaign took place between German and British airborne troops, supported by infantry and artillery during 13 -16 July before the British captured the bridges intact. The Royal Engineers are shown repairing damage to the Primosole Bridge over the Simeto River after its capture.
