December 13, 1918. Crossing the Rhine
American soldiers crossing the Rhine at Remagen, over the Ludendorff Bridge. This same bridge would be fought over fiercely in March, 1945 and was so badly damaged by German efforts and the battle itself that it would ultimately collapse. By that time, it had served, for the second time, as a major American conduit across the Rhine.

Great photo! It's interesting how the same bridge played a role in both WWI and WWII.
