Image description

On 23 June 1944 in Lachen, Switzerland, freight wagons loaded with coal derailed from the German hall during the transit. The local population observes how workers use hydraulic pumps to lift the wagons back onto the rails. During the Second World War, the government in Bern granted Nazi Germany extensive transportation of goods through Switzerland.
