A good friend of mine, Irving, was the second man across the bridge and into germany. Irving now lives in Florida and his luck is still holding, several years ago he won the florida state lottery.
I am trying to find connections for my grandfather. He drove an armored car with a jeep windshield on it. They had him drive across the bridge and back to test its strength after a tank fell through and the engineers had to repair it. C. McMullin was his name. 9th armored division.
My father, Stanley (Tanner) Waluck, 9th armored division, Sergeant, drove first Pershing tank to overlook the bridge. Refered to the movie as "my movie".
My husband and I visited this bridge in 2005 with a WWII Memorial Tour. My father was an Engineer who died here on March 17, 1945 when the bridge collapsed. We also visited his grave in Luxembourg. I was only 19 months old when he was killed and so I never got to know him. I wish I had.
My folks have a house in Remagen and have a beautiful view of the river and it's a 10 minute walk from our house to the bridge. The local kids hang out at the bridge since there's no where else to hang in a small town.
how the heck did they blow it up its all metal and iron

There might another bridge to cross the river nearby since this one is only used as museum and war memorial

This bridge was built for war - the first - and now serves the needs of peace.
