Bridge at Remagen Stone
This stone was part of the piers supporting
the historic Ludendorff Bridge which
once spanned the Rhine River at
Remagen, Germany. A forward patrol of
the US 9th Armored Division captured
the bridge in a surprise attack on
March 7, 1945, thereby aiding the Allies
with a foothold in Germany. The bridge
at Remagen played a key role in the
final chapter of World War II.
