This photo (slika raz)shows present bridge (photo from 1960 -1970) ,but you can see water mills downstream ,one of water mill can be seen on your photo at left corner during the bombing pontoon bridge 1945,on other you have closer yiew peple crossing  pontoon and (1939) shows bridge after construction(destroyed 1941 as i told you during withdrawal of the army 1941)
