« The Italian town of Recco before 1940 and in 1945. A small coastal town of 5,000 inhabitants in Liguria, east of Genoa, Recco was bombed 27 times owing to a strategically important railway viaduct (photo above). The viaduct was eventually destroyed, but so was 95 % of Recco. [798 x 1054]

Im kind of clueless, I apologize. But im guessing the soviet one is to the right and the german is to the left. Also, why would france let them do this kind of thing before hostilities began?
