One of the most important links in Germany's internal transport system, the Dortmund-Ems Canal, which was recently bombed by the R.A.F. The canal is remarkable because it crosses, in an aqueduct, over a road. The photograph shows bomb craters in the bottom of the canal near each end of the aqueduct, from which all the water is drained away. The barge traffic was later diverted to an older canal, and this also has since been bombed.
