Captioned '2nd Crosses Weid R, Nor-Bieber, G,' this Signal Corps photograph documents soldiers of the U.S. 2nd Infantry Division crossing a badly damaged bridge over the Weid River near Nordbieber, Germany, during the Allied advance into Germany in early 1945. Damaged crossings such as this were a constant obstacle for advancing infantry, often requiring careful foot crossings or rapid engineer repair. Project: 218682
