Uncover the hidden technology that shattered Germany's last great defensive line. After German demolitions turned the Rhine River into a fortress, the Allied high command faced a catastrophic delay. But the US Army had a secret weapon the Germans never anticipated: mass-produced, modular bridges. This meticulously researched historical documentary reveals how the Bailey and Treadway bridge systems allowed engineers to conquer the Rhine. On March 22, 1945, near Oppenheim, the 85th Engineer Heavy Pontoon Battalion constructed a 1,149-foot bridge in just over 10 hours, a feat of engineering under fire. From the desperate German demolitions of Operation Scorched Earth to the first American tanks rolling across floating steel highways, witness how logistical genius outmaneuvered brute force... proving that ingenuity, not just combat power, wins wars—a principle that defines modern military operations.
