The powerful images tell the story of the momentous Operation Plunder, which involved 200,000 men breaching the natural water barrier protecting northern Germany in March 1945. Here, troops are seen crossing a floating bridge over the River Rhine, which formed a formidable natural barrier to the Allies' invasion plans
Are you certain that that is the Rhine? It is a major river and for all of its length in Germany it is a lot wider than that, like around 5 times wider. There are however tributaries in the upper Rhine that are narrow.
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe some small island close to the riverside at some point?
Yea, I can't think of any place on the Rhine River that short! Much be one of the smaller branches that feeds into the Rhine.
tactical dispersal guys! I mean social distancing....
Agree, I jumped and clicked my name thanking for the photo right away, then took a closer look and realized also that it's not wide enough. Ray
