Trivia

The name of the Second World War's mission to capture the Ludendorff Bridge aka The Bridge at Remagen was Operation Lumberjack. This mission was initiated by the US Army in March 1945 with an aim to capture German cities such as Cologne and to create a foothold in the Rhine region. The US 9th Armored Division entered the town of Remagen on 7 March 1945, arriving under fire in the afternoon at the Ludendorff Bridge at 3.50 pm. The capture of this bridge was critical and pivotal to the Allies invading Germany. It was the only bridge whereby the soldiers could accessibly cross over the River Rhine, 8,000 of them doing so. Adolf Hitler had German soldiers responsible for the bridge shot by firing squad. See more »

Quotes

Major Paul Kreuger: So, Captain Baumann, I trust that in the event of an emergency, at least the explosives are in place to blow up the bridge?
Capt. Otto Baumann: Not yet, Herr Major. It is reported that 600 kilos of high explosives are on the way. But perhaps, that TOO is only a rumor.
