The Bridge at Remagen plot
"Thus ended the last great German stand in the West."
Germany, 1945. The troops of the Third Reich withdraw. To escape the attacks of the Allies, it is crucial that they reach the other side of the Rhine as quickly as possible. Bridge after bridge is destroyed. In the end, only the bridge of Remagen remains. To the dismay of the German officers on site, Hitler orders this bridge to be blown up as well. This would mean that many thousands of German soldiers are immediately sentenced to certain death, because they are then closed off on the Allied bank.
