We cross the Rhine: Germany, 24th March 1945.
No full textThe Rhine crossing was an operation of gigantic proportions. The XVI Corps, in the Ninth Army, crossed the river on 24 March 1945. The crossing was a combined operation of all branches, land, sea, and air, delivered with the sureness and confidence of weeks of meticulous planning and preparation. The Rhine barrier was reduced in miraculous time, opening the way for the record push of the Ninth Army to the Elbe. The medical mission in the Rhine crossing, with its many difficult problems, was a challenge to every officer and enlisted man of the Medical Department.
