The demolished railway bridge over the Vistula at Dirschau lies in ruins: a heavy steel truss has collapsed into the riverbed while the neo-Gothic bridge towers still stand upright. The bridge was one of the most important rail links between Germany and East Prussia across the Polish Corridor; German commando units tried to seize it intact on 1 September 1939, but Polish engineers detonated the charges prematurely. The destruction delayed German supply traffic across the Vistula only briefly.
