Beschreibung

March 7, 1945 - the day that dramatically accelerated the end of the war in Europe. Unexpectedly, the "Remagen Bridge" fell into the hands of American GIs. The Americans were across the Rhine in no time. Hitler did everything in his power to destroy the bridge - fighter divers, jet fighters, V-rockets. In 1968, Hollywood filmed the drama in Czechoslovakia. The filming of "The Bridge at Remagen" was interrupted by the end of the "Prague Spring". Warsaw Pact troops marched in, Soviet tanks blocked roads, military helicopters circled over the set. The crew had to flee... - The book tells both stories alternately, supplemented by up-to-date descriptions of the battlefields of yesteryear. For the research for this book, the author traveled to Remagen and visited the sites of that time.
