Big Picture: Broken Bridge - National Archives and Records Administration - ARC Identifier 2569746 / Local Identifier 111-TV-508 - DVD Copied by Liz Pruszko - Department of Defense. Department of the Army. Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. U.S. Army Audiovisual Center. (ca. 1974 - 05/15/1984). Medal of Honor winner Audie Murphy stars in this THE BIG PICTURE release. His two young sons' prying questions about space-age missiles prompt Murphy to make a tour of modern Army installations and revisit some of the places he saw in Europe during World War II. First stop is Germany and Hitler's stadium in Nuremberg. Moving on to Wurzburg, Murphy stops at the Third Division area and inspects the platoon he commanded as a First Lieutenant 15 years before. In Germany, the most decorated soldier of World War II gets a look at the Corporal missile and the Redstone missile. A side trip to Norway gives him an orientation view of the Nike Ajax and Hercules ground-to-air missiles. Returning to the United States, Lt. Gen. Arthur G. Trudeau gives the movie star a grand tour of White Sands Missile Range to watch the LaCrosse, the Little John, and the Hawk in action. A highlight of the White Sands visit is the successful firing of the mighty Sergeant missile. At his residence again, Murphy explains to his children about how the free world is being protected by the Army's arsenal of missiles.

Very interesting to watch with Audie and his sons and the display of latest weaponry. How things have changed in Germany since then. Thanks very much.

Great watching, thanks for making this available. I want to include some information about places featured in the film: Leighton Barracks (so I believe) in Wuerzburg; Camp Hof of the 2nd Armored Cav. in Hof/Saale, today General Huettner Kaserne of the German Bundeswehr. The title giving broken bridge of course is the Saale brücke near Hof, about halfway betwen Munich and Berlin on the Autobahn today Autobahn A 9. the bridge is still there, repaired an widened in the meantime
