The Allied Bailey Bridges surroundings of Nieporęt – bridges on Czarna river
The bridges on the Czarna River date back
to World War II and were used by the Allies
on the Western Front. Within the Polish
Armed Forces, such bridges were the tools
of the 1st Polish Armoured Division of General
Maczek. Both bridges were transferred
to Poland after World War II, where they
were meant to serve as temporary bridges,
but some have survived to our times. The
bridges are not directly linked to the struggles
fought in our area; however, they constitute
examples of military art used by the
Polish Armed Forces in the West.
