In early March 1945 the German Army was well on the defensive and the outcome of WW2 in Europe was in no doubt. With allied forces approaching the vital River Rhine all along Eisenhower’s ‘broad front’, German hopes were to make one last defensive stand on the east bank of that river in hopes of stalling the allies and bringing about a negotiated peace on the Western Front. Those dreams were crushed when on 7th March, against all expectation, American troops discovered and stormed a vital bridge across the Rhine at a little known town called Remagen. This is that remarkable story.

My mother lived in Ariendorf just south of Remagen at that time. She told me that there had been a group of german engineers stationed there to repair the bridge. As the Americans approached they got marching order to the eastfront and was replaced with the aengineer with the task to blow the bridge. The reparing engineers then sabotaged the explosivs so they would be captured by the americans, a fate preferable to the east front.

As a former Sapper this bridge was still being used to teach the management of bridge demolitions in the 1980’s. I was lucky to visit the site on a battlefield tour whilst at RMAS in 1982. Indeed the entire NATO protocol for demolitions had been developed to ensure that, in any future conflict, such command and control failures would be avoided.

Great episode! Personally, this was a very meaningful watch as my dad crossed the Ludendorff Bridge with the 99th Infantry Division. If I’m not mistaken, the 99th Division was the first full US division over the Rhine. The 99th continued attacking east into Germany and participating in the closing of the Ruhr Pocket. While Karl Timmermann was born in Colorado, he grew up in West Point, located in Cuming County, Nebraska. There is a memorial in Timmerman Park located in West Point in honor of Lieutenant Timmerman. There is also a bridge over the Elkhorn River just west of West Point named after Lieutenant Timmerman. Thank you for reminding Americans that WWII didn’t end in Normandy.

@AudieHolland 3 месяца назад

@@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935 The historical events don't make for a traditional warmovie. The initial capture of the bridge was almost by accident. Although those few US infantry running across the bridge must have felt every gun in Germany was firing at them, there were very few German defenders at the time. Apart from the platoon that ran across the bridge, there were two small teams of about four men each that stormed the two towers defending the bridge. However, the machinegunners in the towers weren't expecting any problems so were taken by surprise. As one assault team broke into a tower, the team leader, Sgt. DeLisio, immediately kicked the German machinegun out of the window, the German gun crew surrendered, and that was it. Only in the following days and weeks did the actual battle break out, as the Germans tried to recapture/destroy the bridge with the Americans defending it and sending more and more men across the river every day.

@ralfanton62 4 месяца назад

The team did a fantastic job producing this documentary. General Hoge's decision to take the Ludendorff Bridge and form a bridgehead on the east bank of the Rhine instead of advancing south as ordered permanently changed the course of World War II. When the bridge was taken, the Rhine defenses collapsed and the war was shortened by several weeks. Hoges decision led to the fighting for the Remagen bridgehead and enabled the 1st and 9th US armies to encircle the entire Army Group B with around 325,000 men in the Ruhr pocket.

My father crossed the Rhine with the Big Red One, 26th Regiment, 2nd Battalion at Remagen. He said he they crossed in boats under fire. He said he pitied the men who manned the boats because, while he only crossed once, those men crossed over and over again shuttling the troops across the river. He mention the spectacular show when the AAA put a massive cone of fire over the bridge and how it was almost impossible for aircraft to penetrate it. Dad also said that once they got across, it was rough. The Germans had the high ground and the US forces were stalled. It was difficult to get supplies to the troops who had crossed and dad said that they were down to eating the one C ration that nobody liked. It was when the paratroopers landed behind the Germans, that the pressure was taken off them and then they could move forward. Dad said it was no walk in the park.

@Chiller11 3 месяца назад

The crossing at Remagen was likely the nail in Montgomery’s coffin as regards a major role in the conquest of the German homeland. For much of the thrust across France the plan was for Montgomery to cross the Rhine in the North and utilize the relatively open countryside to drive towards Berlin. Monty had sequentially lost Eisenhower’s favour with the failure in the Netherlands, his resistance to Eisenhower’s superior rank and finally a seriously self aggrandizing news conference after the Bulge. By crossing the Rhine 3 weeks before Operation Plunder/Varsity the calculation favouring 21st Army Group as the main offensive element had changed. The British and Canadians were diverted northward toward Denmark as the Americans headed into central Germany and the Elbe.

*Re: Lieutenant Karl Heinrich Timmermann* His father was a German immigrant who joined the US Army and was stationed in Frankfurt, Germany in 1919. He went AWOL and met his future wife, they got a son, Karl. The family returned to the USA in 1922. Because of his father's desertion, Karl and his brothers decided to join the US Army when it joined WW1 to redeem their family name. By extraordinary coincidence, Lieutenant Timmermann ended up at Remagen, a place he knew from his father's stories when he was AWOL in Germany. Timmermann informed his superiors that although Remagen was rather isolated, a few miles from the river was the Autobahn (German highways) that led to Frankfurt. In 1969, the warmovie 'The Bridge at Remagen' was released. Although dramatized, it does have great visuals of the landscape and the bridge itself. Or rather, a similar bridge built by the same company in what was Czechoslovakia at the time. The Czech bridge and town in the movie bore a great resemblance to the WW2 town of Remagen (a bit like the movie 'A Bridge Too Far' was shot in the Dutch town of Deventer because they had a similar bridge like at Arnhem). The movie's production was cut short in August 1968, when the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact forces invaded to repress the Prague Spring with force. Film crew and actors were hastily evacuated including the WW2 vintage vehicles. The final scenes were finished in Hollywood but when you watch the movie, it's hard to tell the difference.

@AudieHolland 3 месяца назад

Lieutenant Karl Heinrich Timmermann was originally born in Frankfurt am Main in 1922, about 160 kilometers from Remagen. The family moved back to the USA two years later but Timmermann remembered from his father that Remagen, while isolated, was only a few kilometers away from the Autobahn (highway) to Frankfurt. With that knowledge, Timmermann was able to convince his superiors of the importance of the Remagen crossing. Imagine his superior, asking Timmermann, 'are you sure?' And him replying 'Yes sir, I was born in Frankfurt, my father told me the Autobahn is close to Remagen.'
