Heres one Woody...my dad. Combat Engineer in the 69th Infantry, amongst many other things, built a bridge to cross the river ( Rhine?) for the mechanized stuff...
His outfit was also fighting at the Bridge at Remagen,one of the outfits that liberated Buchenwald and sub-camps, and they are the ones who met the Russians at the River Elbe for VE Day.
