The Rhine River has been long recognized as one of the most
formidable obstacles to military movement on the European
Continent, and its crossing was the object of the most intensive
planning and preparatory effort made by Ninth Army while operating
in the European Theater. The brilliant fulfillment of the Engineer
mission in the assault crossing of that river will ever be a
tribute to the fighting spirit, skill and determination of the
officers and men who achieved it. In addition to the outstanding
accomplishments of those directly engaged in the crossing, the
unfailing enthusiasm and technical proficiency of supporting
Engineer elements played a major part in the success of the
operation. It is regretted that the complete story of the actions
of some of these supporting units had to be, of necessity,
subordinated to those of the assault units in this report of the
crossing. Effort has been made to make this report of value to the
student of military operations, as well as of interest to the
casual reader. Contents include information on the missions,
intelligence, planning and preparation, training, supply,
operation, and camouflage.
