GI Diary: The Last Barrier: Crossing the Rhine part 2 of 3

"The Last Barrier: Crossing the Rhine" episode from "WWII: GI Diary"..... This old 1978 TV docu-drama was narrated by Lloyd Bridges and told the stories of real soldiers/sailors/pilots and their first-hand experiences in battle. Archival footage and good background music really made the stories come alive.....about 25 episodes were made. Video converted from chopped-up old VHS recording off Discovery Channel and some pieces are missing--the sound is a bit muted (except the intro music which I edited back in from another video).......... This is the story of the U.S. Army plunge into the Ruhr valley of western Germany, the taking of Cologne, and crossing the Rhine River with the capture of the bridge at Remagan.....part 2 of 3

This video was provided to me by the courtesy of another WWII history enthusiast from Ontario, Canada--MANY THANKS!
