United States Occupation troops aid local volunteers in flooded Germany

The Blue Danube, known for its romantic allure, has become a river of destruction, flooding German and Austrian towns. The 300-mile river, swollen by rain and melting snow, has left 65,000 people homeless and caused 31 deaths, with damages nearing $100 million. The city of Passau, on the Austro-German border, is severely affected, prompting the evacuation of 5,000 residents. Local volunteers and U.S. troops are providing essential aid. This disaster is compared to recent severe floods in Iowa and Texas, marking the worst flooding in Central Europe in 50 years.
