Tomsyck : photos : The 237th Engineer Battalion's charge through Europe : This is the Ludendorf Bridge at Remagen: "die Brücke von Remagen" - the last intact bridge over the Rhein River in WWII. It was built from 1916 to 1918, the Americans captured it intact on 7 March 1945, it collapsed on 17 March 1945; and since 7 March 1980 a memorial for peace. It also has a small museum inside the bridgehead that is on the west side of the Rhein. I have literature that states a unit from the 237th took part of the capture.- powered by SmugMug
