American Bridge Speed Overwhelmed German Destruction | WW2

Описание: Germany believed one final act of destruction would stop the Allied invasion of the Reich.
By March 1945, every major bridge across the Rhine had been blown apart, turning Europe’s most powerful river into what was supposed to be an unbreakable defensive wall.
It didn’t work.
This documentary reveals how the Allies crossed Germany’s last defensive river faster than it could be destroyed — not through superior firepower or daring assaults, but through speed, replacement, and industrial-scale engineering.
Instead of rebuilding destroyed bridges, American forces brought their own. Temporary, modular, and endlessly replaceable crossings turned the Rhine from a barrier into a construction site — and from that moment on, the war in Western Europe was already decided.
This is not a story about a single bridge or a single battle.
It is the story of how destruction stopped working — and why speed became the most dangerous weapon of World War II.
