Rhine Crossing: Remagen Bridge (Battleground Europe)
Leo Cooper | 2004 | ISBN: 1844150364 | English | 192 Pages | PDF | 79,3 MB

In Spring 1945 one final hurdle faced the American and British Armies under Ike's supreme command - the Rhine. This mighty river was literally the last ditch for the defence of Hitler's Germany. Crossing it would be a major military undertaking. The race was on to find intact crossings that could save many lives and precious time.

Famously the American forces in a daring coup-de-main operation seized the Bridge at Reagen which due to German blunder and oversight remained intact.
