Crossing the Rhine
Artist Credit: Aces High
In February 1945, the Allies forged eastward toward the Rhine River and on March 7, made the first crossing via the Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen.To the north, ground troops crossed the Rhine at Wesel on the night of March 23-24, supported the following morning by an aerial invasion of more than 2,800 U.S. and British gliders and paratroop transports. By afternoon the Allies had a firm bridge-head across the lower Rhine, ready to drive eastward around the Ruhr.
