On March 7, 1936, German soldiers marched west across the Mainzer Rheinbrucke to reoccupy the Rhineland.

On March 7, 1945, American soldiers of the 9th Armored Division ran eastwards across the Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen being the first across the Rhine

Some pics

The man is 1st Lt Karl Timmermann, first officer across

Note the M8 Armored Cars. Not seen that often on WWII photos

They make a big deal about the movie but its not one of my favorites..

- - yeah we needed way more of the M-8s!

I missed that movie. Any good ?

I remember when the Revell kit came out in 1956, but it was the M20 had a .50 MG rather than a turret.
