Road to Berlin 09 of 10: Crossing the Rhine
Crossing the Rhine
In "Crossing the Rhine", Murray looks at the Allied advances across the Rhine, 9 months after D-Day.
It covers in detail the British plan for a large set-piece assault on Wesel led by Montgomery, with his American rival Patton planning crossings further south. It examines the fortunate discovery and ensuing battle for the Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen, by a company of the American 27th Armored Infantry Battalion, it being the only one of 47 crossings not blown up by the Germans. It also examines the other American crossings at Oppenheim, followed by the British 50 mile wide assault on the Rhine, Operation Plunder, opening up 6 bridgeheads, followed by Operation Varsity, a massive airborne assault to prevent a German retaliation from the woods behind Wasel.
