Venlo, city on the front line in need
All German routes to bring in troops and equipment to the area west of the Maas in North and Central Limburg went through the Maas bridges at Venlo and Roermond. The threat to the liberated area in the east of North Brabant that had arisen after Operation Market Garden would not end until they were destroyed. That is why, from the end of September 1944, one Allied bombing raid after another followed on Venlo and the airfield on the outskirts of the city.
