	Remagen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Remagen is a city in Germany in the Bundesland of Rhineland-Palatinate in the south of Bonn at the Rhine river.
		Remagen became famous for its Ludendorff Bridge that was captured by Allied forces on 7 March 1945 by the U.S. 9th Armored Division.
		Although the bridge collapsed later on, the Allies were able to build a bridgehead on the eastern bank of the Rhine, which led to a faster defeat of Germany.

		On the Remagen side of the bridge Mott's engineers were doing everything possible to fill in the big crater and the approach and get the bridge prepared enough for tanks and other vehicles to cross.
		Within less than an hour the entire battalion was en route to Remagen and by nightfall were emplaced in antiaircraft positions around the bridge across which moved a steady stream of First Army men and machines toward the east bank of the Rhine.
