Poster printed by the US Army commemorating the capturing of the Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen. The official description is: "The Remagen Bridgehead - 7 March 1945" Department of the Army Poster 21-32 Here, on the Ludendorf Bridge crossing the Rhine at Remagen, Combat Command B, 9th Armored Division -- headed by the 27th Armored Infantry Battalion -- with "superb skill, daring and esprit de corps" successfully effected the first bridgehead across Germany's formidable river barrier and so contributed decisively to the defeat of the enemy. The 27th Battalion reached Remagen, found the bridge intact but mined for demolition. Although its destruction was imminent, without hesitation and in face of heavy fire the infantrymen rushed across the structure, and with energy and skill seized the surrounding high ground. The entire episode illustrates that high degree of initiative, leadership and gallantry toward which all armies strive but too rarely attain, and won for the Combat Command the Distinguished Unit Citation.

A U.S. Army M4 Dozer tank drives through the Aachen-Rothe Erde rail station, in October 1944. Original caption: "While 9th AF fighter-bombers were attacking strongpoints in the city of Aachen, Germany, preparatory to an assault by ground troops, the German defenders blew up a viaduct leading into the town. How the Americans circumvented the enemy demolition is shown in this photograph of a tank-dozer smashing through the railroad station adjacent to the viaduct. A few minutes later the first U.S. tanks and ground troops entered the city."
