The Watch on the Bridge
Early in 1945¸ as the Allies pounded toward the German heartland¸ the German army methodically destroyed all the bridges across the Rhine to delay their advance. But the demolition effort at Remagen failed¸ making that bridge the most important one in the world¸ a breach in the German wall. Doke Stanton¸ private in the U.S. Army¸ is captured on a reconnaissance mission¸ but escapes when the truck carrying him is strafed.
