Drunken Nazi Held Cause
Of Bridge Blast Failure

throughout Erpel the town at the
east end of the bridge, that 'the
bridge goes at 4 o'clock this after
noon"
Aside from it's military impor-
lance, the bridge holds a large
place in the lives of residents of
this beautiful Rhine Valley. Oil
paintings of the bridge hang in
many homes up and down the riv-
er. When word spread that the
bridge was to be destroyed crowds
gathered.
Dynamite was planted at strate-
glc spots on the structure and the
last folks in Remagen who wanted
to leave were given change to
cross to the east bank.
The speed of the American
tanks was more than the Germans
had expected, however, and scores
OF enemy vehicles had to be left
In the thick woods on the hill
above Remagen.
Nevertheless, German soldiers
and civilians from miles around
were sitting in ''grandstand seats"
at every suitable vantage point on
the east bank, waiting for the spec
tacular sight of American troops
pulling up at the Rhine and get
ting the bridge blown up right in
their faces.
A few minutes before 4 o'clock
the German officer signaled the
plunger down. Two small puffs of
dust and smoke accompanied by
explosions echoed through the hills,
but the bridge almost unbelieva-
bly, remained on it's piers.
CA dispatch from Associated
Press Correspondent Don White
head today said engineers of the
First Army attributed the failule
to faulty fuse. 1t may have been
that because of the German lieu
tenants celebration, the fuse was
not properly inspected.)
Everyone on the east bank froZe
in paralyzed CONSERVATION. Then
pandemonium broke loose: Few of
the German soldiers present were
even armed, so sure were they
that the Americans would not be
able to cross the river.
Antiaircraft gunners on high
cliff at the east end of the bridge
raced to their guns and tried to
level them on the bridge. At the
same time American troops raced
across.
Within a few minutes more than
300 Germans had surrendered in
Guiding the unfortunate officer as
signed to blow the bridge.
The village of Linz, south of En-
pei, surrendered to an American
chaplain. The next day Doughboys
mopping up there found two Ger
man officers riding in an Ameri-
can jeep which they had captured
in the Ardennes offensive
AS they were put into prisoner
Of war cages they muttered, '1t's
preposterous! It's inpossible!"
