GERMANY: The historic 😲 WW2 bridge at REMAGEN, let's go check it out!
Remagen, Germany - tour of second world war (WW2) historic Remagen bridge (Ludendorff Bridge). Let's visit the historic Ludendorff Bridge (sometimes referred to as the Bridge at Remagen) which was in early March 1945 one of two remaining bridges across the River Rhine in Germany when it was captured during the Battle of Remagen by United States Army forces during the closing weeks of World War II. Remagen bridge (Ludendorff Bridge) was built in World War I to help deliver reinforcements and supplies to the German troops on the Western Front, it connected Remagen on the west bank and the village of Erpel on the eastern side between two hills flanking the river. At the end of Operation Lumberjack (March 1–7, 1945), the troops of the American 1st Army approached Remagen and were surprised to find that Remagen bridge (Ludendorff Bridge) was still standing. Its capture enabled the U.S. Army to establish a bridgehead on the eastern side of the Rhine. After the U.S. forces captured Remagen bridge (Ludendorff Bridge), German forces tried to destroy it multiple times until it collapsed on March 17, 1945, ten days after it was captured, killing 28 U.S. Army Engineers. While it stood, the bridge enabled the U.S. Army to deploy 25,000 troops, six Army divisions, with many tanks, artillery pieces and trucks, across the Rhine. It was never rebuilt. The towers on the west bank were converted into a museum and the towers on the east bank are a performing art space.
