A U.S. Army M4 Dozer tank drives through the Aachen-Rothe Erde rail station, in October 1944. Original caption: "While 9th AF fighter-bombers were attacking strongpoints in the city of Aachen, Germany, preparatory to an assault by ground troops, the German defenders blew up a viaduct leading into the town. How the Americans circumvented the enemy demolition is shown in this photograph of a tank-dozer smashing through the railroad station adjacent to the viaduct. A few minutes later the first U.S. tanks and ground troops entered the city."
