The Bridge at Remagen
Thus ended the last great German stand in the West.
You hold the last bridge over the Rhine and so you hold the war itself. The Germans rig it to blow and the Allies need it intact. The bridge groans under mortar fire, men scramble across steel girders hot enough to blister skin. When two platoons end up trapped on opposite banks the fight forgets tactics and becomes desperate clawing. The cameras remember every ricochet, every voice shouting through shellfire.
