Clash Over Remagen by Nicolas Trudgian
General Bradley's 1st American Army reached the Rhine at Remagen on March 7, 1945. Such was the speed of advance they arrived before the retreating German troops had time to blow the vital Ludendorff bridge. The 9th Armored Division seized the opportunity, took the bridge intact, and immediately established a bridgehead.
Realizing the importance of the bridge to the advancing American Army, and the threat its existence posed to the German defenses, the Luftwaffe were ordered in to destroy the bridge at all costs. Desperate efforts were made both to attack and to defend the bridge, and over the course of the following days the fighting on the ground and in the air became one of the legendary battles of the war.
