Freedom Bridge in World War II

During the Second World War, in 1945, the retreating German army, together with the other Danube bridges in Budapest, blew up the Freedom Bridge. Shortly afterwards, the Soviets began to remove the damaged parts and, as a temporary solution, added a so-called pontoon bridge to the remaining part. Restoration of the Freedom Bridge began in 1946.
