NORTH OF MONTELIMAR
What's left of a rail-car ammunition carrier for the German guns destroyed at Montelimar. On August 29, units of the 36th and 3rd divisions were in mortar range of the chaotic retreat of the rear guard north of Montelimar. Artillery spotters targeted a long column of 2,000 vehicles stretching 14 kilometers along Highway 7 and a parallel train pulling large artillery pieces. The barrage from artillery, armor, and mortars was deadly.
