I wonder if this article isnt a copyvio of http://www.bruecke-remagen.de/index_en.htm

It may also be the other way around, they may have copied info from here, but that doesnt look very lkely.

[edit] German decision not to destroy the bridge

I would like to know why the soldiers in charge of destroying the bridge decided it was "senseless"....especially if it was supposedly worth its weight in gold to the americans. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.4.74.65 (talk) 19:58, 1 March 2007 (UTC).

nor offense but that seeming worthless seema like a little bit of hollywood B.S (Esskater11 00:27, 30 April 2007 (UTC))

oh yeah and they did try and destroy the bridge, the explsoives didnt work right and only fataly damged the bridge, thats what caused its callaps 4 days later i think (Esskater11 00:28, 30 April 2007 (UTC))

I would like to know why no mention whatever has been made of the POW camps set up (one was in Remagen) in post WWII Germany for surrendering German soldiers, later determined by the Americans to be Disarmed Enemy Fighters instead of Prisoners Of War, and as such without Geneva protections.
