Cologne, Germany

Fury — Germany

Scene

The tank crew passes through a ruined Cologne -- its cathedral improbably still standing amid total devastation -- advancing with the 2nd Armored Division into the German heartland in early 1945.

History

Cologne was captured by American forces on March 6-7, 1945 after heavy fighting. The city was 90 percent destroyed but Cologne Cathedral survived -- having been used by Allied navigators as a landmark for bombing missions.
